Abstract In tropical areas, since the day length (DL) is shorter than critical DL for chrysanthemum (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Kitam.), flowers before reaching required stem (SL) cut flower. Two experiments were conducted with aim of determining vegetative growth genotype; to attain a SL and promote using night break (NB) red light spray type chrysanthemum. first experiment, was extended by o...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective activity of aqueous extract from Platycodon grandiflorum (BC703) on thioacetamide (TA)-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. We found that BC703 significantly decreased mortality and the change in serum transaminase following TA administration. The group treated with BC703 at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg produced significant hepatoprotective ...

abstract- chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum) is one of the most important ornamental plants used as cut flower, flowering pot plant and groundcover worldwide. in this research, the effects of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg -l), menthol (75 and 125 mg l-1) and eugenol (75 and 125 mg l-1) on the quality and vase-life of chrysanthemum cut flowers at 3±1ºc and 75-80%...

Phytochemical study of the leaves of Jasminum nudiflorum has led to the isolation of nine new secoiridoid glucosides, jasnudiflosides F-L (1-7), nudifloside D (8) and isooleoacteoside (9). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.

Physical mutagenesis is an effective mutational breeding method for improving various growth and floral characteristics of ornamental plants. The experiment was undertaken with objective to investigate the effect dosages gamma irradiation on survivability, Jasminum officinale plants raised by rooted cuttings. 60CO Gamma source at Horticultural Crop Research Developmental Institute, Gannoruwa us...

Abstract The use of soilless culture in the cultivation ornamental plants is becoming widespread, especially production cut flowers. aim this review to present a brief summary both standard and new findings obtained from using techniques plant cultivation, based on detailed literature review. In researches reached for review, Calendula officinalis L., Matthiola incana Pelargonium zonale Petunia...

Genetic engineering of roses and other plants of floricultural importance to give them a truly blue petal color is arguably one of the holy grails of plant biotechnology. Toward this goal, bluish carnations and roses were previously engineered by establishing an exclusive accumulation of delphinidin (Dp)-type anthocyanins in their petals via the heterologous expression of a flavonoid 3',5'-hydr...
