[edit] =Muga silk/Pat silk?

Is the silk made from Mulberry cocoons the same as Muga silk from Assam? Can anybody confirm/provide further information?

Just noticed that Pat silk refers to mulberry and not Assam silk#Muga silk. -Deepraj | Talk 13:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sole food source of silkworms?

"Mulberry leaves, particularly those of the White Mulberry, are ecologically important as the sole food source of the silkworm"

Is this entirely correct? In the article on silkworm it says that some other genera from Moraceae also qualify, although Mulberry (and White Mulberry in particular) remains the favorite. One of the two articles has to have a mistake.

Also, if you'll forgive my nitpicking, I'd say that the above is economically important rather than ecologically. The silkworm is completely domesticated. -- Anthee (talk) 11:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
