Longevity and Some Metabolic Events in Post- Harvest Spray-carnation (d. Caryophyllus F. Spray, Hort.) Flowers
Senescence and stresses have been documented to promote ethylene synthesis in ethylene-sensitive flower such as carnations. Thus the inhibition of ethylene evolution might lead to activation of other metabolic reactions. Present experiments were undertaken with cut at bud stage spray-carnation (D. caryophyllus f. spray, Hort.) flowers, cv. Regina and cv. Naslada. Tested cultivars are a new bree...
متن کاملCoevolution: Puff Pollination in Tropical Flowers
A new study shows that birds plucking anthers of the Melastome, Axinaea, demonstrate a novel bird pollination mechanism. Each stamen of Axinaea offers a nutrient-rich, berry-like food body that, when bitten, releases a puff of pollen allowing transfer to stigmas by wind or the pollen-dusted bird.
متن کاملAcceleration of Membrane Senescence in Cut Carnation Flowers
The lipid microviscosity of microsomal membranes from senescing cut carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv. White Sim) flowers rises with advancing senescence. The increase in membrane microviscosity is initiated within 3 to 4 days of cutting the flowers and coincides temporaDly with petal-inroDling denoting the climacteric-like rise in ethylene production. Treatment of young cut flowers with a...
متن کاملPollination triggers female gametophyte development in immature Nicotiana tabacum flowers
In Nicotiana tabacum, female gametophytes are not fully developed at anthesis, but flower buds pollinated 12 h before anthesis produce mature embryo sacs. We investigated several pollination-associated parameters in N. tabacum flower buds to determine the developmental timing of important events in preparation for successful fertilization. First, we performed hand pollinations in flowers from s...
متن کاملSelenium accumulation in flowers and its effects on pollination.
• Selenium (Se) hyperaccumulation has a profound effect on plant-arthropod interactions. Here, we investigated floral Se distribution and speciation in flowers and the effects of floral Se on pollen quality and plant-pollinator interactions. • Floral Se distribution and speciation were compared in Stanleya pinnata, an Se hyperaccumulator, and Brassica juncea, a comparable nonhyperaccumulator. P...
