Effects of Nano-Silver and Sucrose applications on Cut Flower Longevity and Quality of Tuberose (Polianthus tuberosa)

Tuberose (Polianthus tuberosa) is a commercially important cut flower; but its longevity and quality characteristics are compromised by stress during storage and transportation. Thus, it is important to determine the most appropriate preservative solution to best maintained cut flowers. Tests were done to examine the effects on of nano-silver (NS) (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg L-1) and sucrose (0, 4 and...

Effects of Silver Nanoparticles (SNPs) Pulsing Treatment and Sucrose Holding on Flower and Leaf Senescence of Cut Rose

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles pulsing treatment (0, 25, 75 and 125 mg L−1) on vase life and some postharvest physiological parameters of cut rose flower ʻHigh & Magicʼ in sucrose solution (0, 2 and 3%). This research performed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications under 23 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 5% RH and...

the effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance

this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...

Temperature and Postharvest Performance of Rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and Gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) Flowers

The respiration of cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) increased exponentially with increasing respiration, with a Q10 value between 0 and 10°C of 3 for both flowers. The vase life of the flowers was negatively affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures whereas dry storage for 5 days at 0°C resulted in a vase li...
