comparison of some physio-morphological characteristics of eight cut rose cultivars

Investigation of Humic Acid Application on Some Morphological and Physiological Characteristics of China Rose

In recent years, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and lack of organic fertilizers caused to reduce the rate of soil organic matter in Iran. The increased use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture causes environmental problems such as soil physical degradation and soil nutrient imbalances. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of foliar and soil applications of humic acid on ...

The Role of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in Improving the Postharvest Quality of Some Cut Rose Cultivars

In order to improve the postharvest quality and the export ability of cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cvs. Happy Hour and Bordeaux, the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an ethylene inhibitor, was investigated. 1-MCP was used at 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 g m-3 for 18 h at 8 °C to simulate the transport of flowers. 1-MCP treatment significantly prolonged the vase life and minimized the weight los...

Effect of Gibberellic Acid Pulsing and Sucrose Continuous Treatment on Some Qualitative Characteristics of Cut Rose Flower cv. Velvet

The aim of this study was the better assessment of the relationship of pulsing treatment of gibberellic acid as an anti-senescence agent and holding in sucrose as a carbohydrate supply resource on improving some qualitative and physiological attributes of cut rose flower cv. Velvet. Hence, an experiment involving the pulsing treatment with gibberllic acid (GA3) at 0, 20, 40 and 60 mg L-1, for 2...

Evaluation of Seed Yield and Morphological Characteristics of Some Barley Cultivars and Promising Lines in Southern Cities of Fars Province

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important crop plant similar to wheat and rice. Barley is a great source of food  for human, and it is also used for feeding livestock. The ultimate goal of barley breeding programs is to increase production efficiency and stability on farmers' farms, which is made possible by replacing more productive cultivars wi...

Screening Eight Cultivars of Alstroemeria Cut Flower for Vase Life and Biochemical Traits

Alstroemeria is one of the most popular cut flowers in European Union owing to its postharvest longevity and broad color spectra. Nevertheless, premature wilting decreases the aesthetic value of flowering branches even before the opening of the secondary florets in the fluorescence. The present study evaluated different biochemical and morphological traits of Alstroemeria cut ...
