The early wilting and yellowing of leaves in response to ethylene is the main limitation affecting vase quality cut chrysanthemums. Therefore, leaf senescence most difficult problem post-harvest production Nevertheless, molecular mechanism on regulation chrysanthemum still unclear. In this study, we identified an ethylene-sensitive ‘FenDante,’ which showed rapid chlorophyll content decrease und...

Decorative flowers are known to be a cause of occupational allergy in the floral industry. The allergic manifestations induced by flowers include asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman, who has been working for the last 30 years as a gardener with various kinds of flowers, e.g., Limonium sinuatum (LS), chrysanthemum, sweet William (Dianthus barbatus)...

 Flowering period and longevity play important roles in determining the quality of commercial flowers. Marker-trait associations for eight flowering and 12 ornamental traits have been studied using a GLM and MLM analysis with a set of 2099 AFLP polymorphic markers in Chrysanthemum. The GLM model identified 453 markers for phenotypic traits whereas the MLM association analysis model revealed a t...
