Identification of Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) Self-Incompatibility

There has been a heated argument over self-incompatibilityof chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) among chrysanthemum breeders. In order to solve the argument, we investigated pistil receptivity, seed set, and compatible index of 24 chrysanthemum cultivars. It was found that the 24 cultivars averagely had 3.7-36.3 pollen grains germinating on stigmas at 24 hours after self-pollination throu...

Micropropagation of Chrysanthemum (chrysanthemum Morifolium) Using Shoot Tip as Explant

Chrysanthemum has been cultivated for more than 2000 years and today, it is the world’s second most economically important floricultural crop following the rose (Teixeira da silva, 2003). Due to high popularity and demand for chrysanthemum it has become one of the first commercial targets for Micro propagation and thus tissue culture can be utilized for its large scale production. Regeneration ...

Sequence variability of Chrysanthemum stunt viroid in different chrysanthemum cultivars

Viroids are the smallest infectious agents, and their genomes consist of a short single strand of RNA that does not encode any protein. Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd), a member of the family Pospiviroidae, causes chrysanthemum stunt disease. Here, we report the genomic variations of CSVd to understand the sequence variability of CSVd in different chrysanthemum cultivars. We randomly sampled ...

Identification of the phenolic components of chrysanthemum flower (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat)

A standardised profiling method based on liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry (LC–DAD–ESI/MS) was used to identify 46 flavonoids and 17 caffeic acid derivatives in the aqueous methanol extract of Flos chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat) (Compositae), an important Chinese herb. Fifteen caffeoylquinic acids and 15 flavonoids were positive...
