Mulberry (Morus spp.) is the only silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) food plant. In Indian sub tropics, S-146 is the onlypopular and ruling mulberry genotype for silkworm rearing. As a result, mulberry leaf availability is always thelimiting factor, and therefore, sub tropics are contributing less than 1% of the countrys total silk production comparedwith more than 60% under tropical conditions. Besides climatic conditions, this is due to a very limited number ofmulberry genotypes available in this region for silkworm rearing. However, in the mean time, 15 mulberry genotypesviz. Tr-10, Chinese White, K-2, Sujanpur Local, BC2-59, S-1635, C-1730, Mandalaya, S-30 (Vishala),RFS-175, Anantha, C-2016, C-2017, S-41 and V-1 were also introduced in the sub tropics, but remainedunexplored. In sericulture, leaf surface is also an important parameter for, both, the silkworms acceptability of nothaving any feeding impediment and the mulberry improvement programs. The objective of this study was to explorethe possibilities of using these 16 mulberry genotypes for their leaf surface characteristics by scanning electronmicroscopy and using them for sericulture. Based on leaf yield, stomatal size, stomatal number per unit of area andtrichomes and idioblasts length, these genotypes were grouped into different categories. The mulberry genotypeMandalaya, in addition to the ruling genotype S-146 excelled because of their higher leaf yield and desired leafsurface characteristics. Furthermore, the genotypes K-2, S-41 and Sujanpur Local are also suggested to develophigh yield mulberry genotypes in the Indian sub tropics.
