Abstract

Abstract: In order to explore inherent correlations between the leaf and fruit of plant, current-year fruiting twigs of Morus alba L. with different size were selected as experimental materials and the relationships between leaf features and fruit characters were analyzed. The results showed that: as twig size changed from small to large, leaf number and total leaf dry weight increased significantly whereas leaf shape index showed no significant changes; mulberry number and total mulberry dry weight increased significantly, but no significant changes in water content of mulberry were detected. There were significant positive correlations between mulberry number and leaf number, total leaf dry weight, total leaf area and mean mulberry dry weight. Our results demonstrated close relationships between the fruit characters and leaf features. For current- year fruiting twigs of Morus alba L., mulberry number was decided by the total leaf number and mean mulberry dry weight was significant related with mean leaf area.
