Mot, Y., Reid, M.S. and Kofranek, A.M., 1980. Role of the ovary in carnation senescence. Scientia Hortic., 13: 377--383. Ovary growth in carnation flowers was inhibited by pre-treatments with silver thiosulfate which retarded petal senescence. Although the start of ovary growth preceded visible wilting of untreated flowers, the ovary does not appear to control carnation senescence. Its removal ...

Effects of kaolin applicati on were evaluated on water stress in pistachio cv. ‘Ohadi’. This experiment was conducted in one of research sites at the Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan (Kerman province) in . The results show that individual and interaction effects of all treatments were significant on nutrition absorption in leaves, although there was not a steady effect on all the eleme...

Mango is one of the most cultivated tropical fruits worldwide and few drought-tolerant plants. Thus, in this study effect a sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) strategy on mango yield quality was assessed with aim reducing water crop. A randomized block design four treatments developed: (i) full (FI), assuring crop’s needs, three levels SDI receiving 75%, 50%, 33% (SDI75, SDI50, SDI33). Yield, m...

The most popular fragrant cut rose cultivar in Japan is ‘Yves Piaget’, but its petals often become malformed after harvest. These flowers, referred to as “incurved flowers”, are characterized by curving toward the adaxial side which prevents normal flowering and significantly decreases flower quality. It has been reported that jasmonic acid (JA) affects petal growth, could suppress emergence of...

conventional processes of food dewatering, such as thermal, have undesirable and destruction effects on vitamins, aromatic compounds and pigments. in addition, they are accompanied with some technological complications and energy consumption. thus, food concentration processes are directed to non-thermal techniques or methods with reduced heat effects. superabsorbents are highly hydrophilic pol...

summer pruning and calcium spray could improve kiwifruits quality. in this study, effect of summer pruning in two times, 2 and 15 days after petal fall alone or in combination with %1 calcium chloride spray on fruit quality and mineral elements contents of ‘hayward’ kiwifruit was investigated. calcium sprayed four times 90 days after petal fall with 15 days intervals. the results showed that su...
