Pollen Grain Preservation and Fertility in Valuable Commercial Rose Cultivars

In the cut flower market, traditional breeding is still the best way to achieve new rose cultivars. The geographical delocalization of cultivar constitution (generally made in Europe and North America) and plant cultivation (large areas in Africa and South America) represents a limit point for crossing and selection. Rose breeders often need to overcome geographical distances, resulting in asyn...

The Potted Plant Packing Problem

In this article we describe a practical planning problem, the potted plant packing problem, and our first approaches to solve this problem. The transportation of plants is comparably expensive as they require careful treatment due to there sensitivity. For standardised transport, potted plants are loaded on transport trollies. The cost of transportation depends on the number of these trollies. ...

Expression of Genes Encoding Protein Kinases During Flower Opening in Two Cut Rose Cultivars with Different Longevity

Ethylene plays an important role in wide-ranging aspects of plant growth and development, includingfruit ripening, leaf and flower senescence. In this study, the expression patterns of two genes involved in theethylene signal transduction pathway (RhCTR1 and RhCTR2) were investigated during the flower openingstages in two Rosa hybrida cultivars, ‘Black magic’ and ‘Maroussia’, ...
