the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut gladioluswas studied. sa (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad universi...

the effect of different storage temperatures on senescence and postharvest performance in cut scapes of three iris species (iris germanica, iris reticulata and iris kashmiriana) was studied with the aim to develop a cost-effective storage protocol so as to bring out the transportation of these cut flowers. the scapes were subjected to two different storage treatments-dry storage and wet storage...

carnation (dianthus caryophyllus l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. themajority of thecarnation cultivars are sensitive to ethylene which affected the physiological and biochemical postharvest characteristics of these flowers.applying inhibitors of biosynthesis and action of ethylene is important factor to protect the display quality and extend postharvest life. in order...

alstromeria is a new cut flower in iran that due to the high performance, long life, and pretty flowers and colors diversity is highly regarded. premature yellowing of leaves in cut flowersalstromeria before petal fall is the most important factor limiting the vase life of flowers. to delay leaf yellowing and increased quality, factorial experiment based on completely randomized design carried ...

During development of the rat central nervous system, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) mRNAs containing in the extracellular domain a 30-bp alternative exon, here named VASE, replace RNAs that lack this exon. The presence of this alternative exon between previously described exons 7 and 8 changes the predicted loop structure of the derived polypeptide from one resembling an immunoglobulin c...

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles pulsing treatment (0, 25, 75 and 125 mg L−1) on vase life and some postharvest physiological parameters of cut rose flower ʻHigh & Magicʼ in sucrose solution (0, 2 and 3%). This research performed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications under 23 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 5% RH and...

The vase life of cut flowers and foliage is often shortened by vascular occlusions that constrict vase solution supply. Reduction in stem conductivity is typically caused by blockage of cut stem ends and xylem conduits by microbes, physiological plugging, and disruption of water columns in xylem vessels by cavitations and air emboli. Cut flower and foliage longevity can be greatly affected by t...

Filtering out traffic with forged source address on routers can significantly improve the security of Internet. However, despite intermittent IP spoofing attacks, existing filtering mechanisms inspect each packet all the time, consuming considerable resource on routers even there is no spoofing at all. This article considers the requirement for a solution performing IP spoofing filtering with a...

Transition curves with monotone curvature profile are widely applied in fair curve design. Advantage of using transition curve is that it can avoid the undesirable curvature extrema. Demonstration of transition curve in designing surface of revolution, particular of vase design can be often seen in literature. For these demonstrations, authors mainly focused on the curvature control of the vase...
