Ethylene and postharvest performance of potted kalanchoë
The postharvest life of different cultivars of kalanchoë plants (Kalanchoë blossfeldiana Poelln.) varied widely. The display life of plants of ‘Nadia’ was much longer than that of plants of ‘Debbie’ (10 weeks compared with 7 weeks). During display life, senescing flowers were replaced by opening buds and the difference in display life was primarily a function of differences in life of the indiv...
متن کاملMolecular Basis for Species-Specific Sensitivity to “Hot” Chili Peppers
Chili peppers produce the pungent vanilloid compound capsaicin, which offers protection from predatory mammals. Birds are indifferent to the pain-producing effects of capsaicin and therefore serve as vectors for seed dispersal. Here, we determine the molecular basis for this species-specific behavioral response by identifying a domain of the rat vanilloid receptor that confers sensitivity to ca...
متن کاملEthylene Response to Mechanical Stress Perturbation of Salvia Splendens L. Potted Plants
Mechanical treatment could be an efficient method to control growth of vegetable and ornamental species cultivated under greenhouse conditions. Mechanical growth control is able to induce a 20-50% reduction in the vegetative growth depending on the species, the type and intensity of stress applied. In any case, plant growth and morphogenesis are influenced by mechanical perturbation and common ...
متن کاملCan ornamental potted plants remove volatile organic compounds from indoor air? A review.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in indoor air, and many of these can affect human health (e.g. formaldehyde and benzene are carcinogenic). Plants affect the levels of VOCs in indoor environments, thus they represent a potential green solution for improving indoor air quality that at the same time can improve human health. This article reviews scientific studies of plants' ability to...
متن کاملSensitivity of Avocado Fruit to Ethylene
The respiration of individual 'Hass' and 'Fuerte' fruit was monitored during storage at 8oC and 10oC respectively for 14 days, under a continuous flow of humidified air containing ethylene (C2H4) at 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.25, 1.0 and 5.0 μL.L. Respiration rates of 'Fuerte' fruit under 0.01 μL.L C2H4 were significantly higher than the controls after 3.3 days of storage, but for 'Hass' fruit respiratio...
