‘Elongated fruit No. 1’ mulberry ( Morus laevigataWall.) is a new cultivar that is suitable for berry production released by the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) and the Miaoli District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (MDARES) in Taiwan. ‘Elongated fruit No. 1’, specifically named for its unique berry shape, produces attractive bright purple, glossy, large and elongated fruit and is recommended for both pick-your-own and fresh markets. In this study, we found that the fruit ripening season of ‘Elongated fruit No. 1’ is later, the berry is much sweeter (20.1% soluble solids, SSC), and the eating quality is superior to that of both ‘Taisang No. 19’ ( Morus atropurpureaRoxb., a synonym of Morus albaL.) and ‘Miaoli No. 1’ ( Morus atropurpureaRoxb.), which are currently the most commercially available mulberry cultivars in Taiwan.
