Morus macroura,[5] also known as the king white mulberry,[6] shahtoot mulberry, Tibetan mulberry, or long mulberry is a flowering plant species in the genus Morus native to the Himalayas, Tibet, southern China, the rain forests of Indochina, and mountainous areas of Sumatra and Java in Indonesia.[2][7][8] It is a medium-sized tree, with a spreading canopy which grows with a weeping habit.[9] Ripe fruit is white, pink or red, and is described as honey-sweet.[10]

Genomics

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Morus macroura was published in 2026. The genome size is approximately 318.6 Mb, with 99.64% of the contig sequences anchored to 14 pseudo-chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness of 97.21%, and 21,824 protein-coding genes were predicted. The assembly provides a resource for understanding genetic mechanisms underlying low chilling requirement and year-round fruiting.[11]
