Transcriptomic and gene expression analysis have greatly facilitated the identification characterization of transcriptional regulatory factors effectors involved in dormancy progression other physiological processes orchestrated during bud development peach temperate fruit species. Gene measurements are most usually based on average values from several or many individual buds. We performed sing...

Wintering flower buds of cold hardy Rhododendron japonicum cooled slowly to subfreezing temperatures are known to undergo extraorgan freezing, whose mechanisms remain obscure. We revisited this material to demonstrate why bud scales freeze first in spite of their lower water content, why florets remain deeply supercooled and how seasonal adaptive responses occur in regard to extraorgan freezing...

Dried flowers and buds of Sophora japonica (Huaihua) are used in China, Japan and Korea for treating haematemesis and bleeding haemorrhoids. This study compared the clinical safety and efficacy of a Sophora flower formula with a placebo for the conservative treatment of symptomatic haemorrhoids. The study was a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial. The clinical effecti...

Abstract Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is an ornamental species used as a potted plant or cut flower, its popularity due to the diversity of colors, number flower buds, and shelf life. Nevertheless, during first phases development, problems such foliar chlorosis root diseases affects most cultivars, causing poor growth, thin stems, few flowers. The use growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...

two factorial experiments were conducted to study the interactive effects of four levels of sucrose (0, 20, 40 and 60 g l-1), two levels of citric acid (0 and 160 mg l-1) and two levels of one of the following compounds (aluminum sulphate, 0 and 160 mg l-1 and silver nitrate, 0 and 120 g l-1) on vase life and quality attributes of lisianthus cut flowers ‘mariachi blue fonce.’ the experiments ca...

The competence of pedicel explants of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Samsun) to regenerate flower buds in response to auxin was manipulated by preincubating excised tissues in the absence of auxin. When exposed to 1 micromolar 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, these tissues formed fewer buds than controls that were not preincubated. The number of buds eventually formed correlated with the 1-naphthale...

It has been found that floral induced stems of flowering tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wis. 38) plants contain large amounts of rapidly renaturing DNA, whereas noninduced stems of vegetative plants contain only small amounts. In addition, it has been shown that the striking qualitative difference in DNA between stems of flowering and vegetative plants mimics the over-all quantitative differenc...
