In order to evaluate the effects of exogenous indole butyric acid (IBA) and callus formation on the anti‐oxidant activity, total phenolics, and anthocyanin constituents of Morus nigra L. and M. alba L. cuttings, we investigated the variations before and after the treatment. The results indicate that anti‐oxidant ability, total phenolic, and anthocyanin constituents of the callus stems of both Morus species were higher than those of non‐callus forming species. There were also increases observed in anti‐oxidant ability, total phenolic, and anthocyanin constituents of calli treated with IBA (1 000–3 000 mg/L). (Managing editor: Wei Wang)
