| In the UAE, which species of the two Mulberry species, M. nigra (native) and M. alba (exotic), has rich mineral content, nutrients, and phytochemical profile, as well as, a better antimicrobial activity? | The study hypothesized that there are significant differences between M. nigra and M. alba in terms of mineral content, nutrient levels, phytochemical profiles, and antimicrobial properties |
Mineral content, nutrients and phytochemical profiles of the native and the exotic Morus species parts (leaves, branches, and roots) Antimicrobial activity of the native (M. nigra) and the exotic (M. alba) Mulberry species parts (leaves, branches, and roots) |
Significance level: p < 0.01 Two-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) Tukey’s test (honest significant difference, HSD) Scatterplots and linear regressions |
