Effects of Low Temperature on Dormancy Release in Lily Bulbs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanism of dormancy and dormancy release in lily (Lilium spp.) bulbs is still incomplete and ambiguous. Based on a summary of dormancy characteristics, we review the effects of low temperature on dormancy release. This paper highlights the metabolic changes in carbohydrates, endogenous hormones, free amino acids and phenols during low temperature storage, and the key stages in dormancy release as well as the effects of different parts of the lily bulb. The possible physiological mechanism of low temperature on dormancy release in lily bulbs and some problems which should be investigated in this field are also discussed in this review. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Necessity of high temperature for the dormancy release of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis.
Winter dormancy has been extensively studied in many plants, while much less information is available for summer dormancy. Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis is characterized by a prolonged period of summer dormancy during the annual cycle. In the present study, we characterized the nature of dormancy in the controlled growth conditions and investigated the effects of temperature and ethylene on ...
متن کاملTranscriptome profiling provides insights into dormancy release during cold storage of Lilium pumilum
Background: Bulbs of the ornamental flower Lilium pumilum enter a period of dormancy after flowering in spring, and require exposure to cold for a period of time in order to release dormancy. Previous studies focused mainly on anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes during dormancy release. There are no dormancy studies of the northern cold-hardy wild species of Lilium at the molecula...
متن کاملRegulation of summer dormancy by water deficit and ABA in Poa bulbosa ecotypes.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Survival of many herbaceous species in Mediterranean habitats during the dry, hot summer depends on the induction of summer dormancy by changes in environmental conditions during the transition between the winter (growth) season to the summer (resting) season, i.e. longer days, increasing temperature and drought. In Poa bulbosa, a perennial geophytic grass, summer dormancy i...
متن کاملRole of relative humidity, temperature, and water status in dormancy alleviation of sunflower seeds during dry after-ripening
The effect of various combinations of temperature and relative humidity on dormancy alleviation of sunflower seeds during dry after-ripening was investigated. The rate of dormancy alleviation depended on both temperature and embryo moisture content (MC). Below an embryo MC of 0.1 g H(2)O g(-1) dw, dormancy release was faster at 15 °C than at higher temperatures. This suggests that dormancy rele...

The Asiatic hybrid lily, a bulbous ornamental plant, has a special position in the horticulture as cut flower. To overcome some problems in nutrition of bulb flowers, the use of hydroponic system and nutrient solution is important in the cultivation of these flowers. The Asiatic Hybrid Lilium bulbs “Tresor” cultivar, used for the current research were planted under 3 different calcium levels in...
