Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) participate in a variety of plant physiological processes including the regulation associated with thermotolerance. Here, Hsf gene DcHsfA1d was identified from carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.). The open reading frame (ORF) 1 368 bp and encoded protein 455 amino acids molecular mass 51.039 kDa an isoelectric point 4.94. Sequence domain prediction revea...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators on in vitro shoot multiplication, vitrification and rooting of two carnation cultivars (Eskimo Mogr and Innove Orange Bogr). Isolated axillary buds were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different levels of Benzyl amino purine (BAP) or kinetin (Kin) in combination with 0.2 mg/l NAA and shoot multiplication and vitr...

Abstract Thrips hawaiiensis is a common thrips pest that damages the flowers of various plants. The differing population sizes T. among host plants suggest its preference and performance vary In this study, fitness for different was assessed through field investigation. behavioral responses to color volatiles eliciting apparent levels their development survival on were also studied. Adults larv...

Ethylene is a plant hormone with endogenous production associated with the process of senescence for a number of cut flowers. Different stressogenic factors, including signals such as pollination, exogenous ethylene and auxins have been found to be associated with the increase in ethylene emission and a specific tissue response has been documented. The present study was undertaken with the aim ...
