Evaluation of Genetic Diversity of Some Damask Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) Genotypes of Kurdistan Province Using Morphological Traits

Analysis of the Genetic Diversity 12 Iranian Damask Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) Genotypes Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Markers

In this study, the genetic diversity of 12 Iranian Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) genotypes was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Twelve AFLP primer combinations generated 483 polymorphic bands and showed extreme variability and genetic complexity among the studied genotypes. The AFLP analysis revealed a specific amplified fragment for the genotypes collec...

Evaluation of Some Postharvest Storage Approaches on Essential Oil Characteristics of Fresh Organic Damask Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) Flowers

Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is an economically important species in the Rosaceae family for rose oil and rose water production, obtained exclusively from freshly-gathered Damask rose flowers. Iran is famous for producing organic rose essential oil, mainly used in the perfume industry and for folk medicines due to its healing properties. Due to their high perishability, postharvest handli...

Effect of Thermal Period on Seed Dormancy of Damask Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.)

Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) has high economic importance and commercial value. The plant essential oil is used for perfumery, food and medicinal industries. It is necessary to know much about seed germination for study of genetic variation and breeding improved varieties of R. damascena. In this study seed germination of R. damascena were evaluated, using thermal period treatments. The d...

Investigation on sexual and asexual propagation methods of damask rose (rosa damascena mill.)

Correlation between Anthocyanin and Essential Oil Content of Damask Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.)

The essential oil of Rosa damascena Mill. is one of the most valuable and important base material in the flavor and fragrance industry. It has also some medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between anthocyanin and essential oil content of Damask rose petals in 6 important Damask rose growing in some locations of Iran i.e. Meimand, Layzangan, Shiraz Eram B...

collection and evaluation of morphological diversity of damask rose genotypes of iran

genetic resources constitute the building blocks of crop improvement programs. these provide the basic raw material as well as reservoir of genes for breeding high-quality cultivars. characterization of germplasm is the prerequisite for subsequent utilization of the resources. in this study, suckers of twenty six damask rose genotypes (rosa damascena mill.) were collected from some of the most ...
