genetic diversity is essential in the implementation of breeding programs. in order to determine genetic diversity, factor analysis and heritability of yield and some morphological traits, 20 strawberry cultivars were studied at the agricultural station of kurdistan research center using a randomized complete block design with three replications. morphological characteristics such as number of ...

Rose (Rosa hybrida L.) is one of the mostly cultivated cut flowers in Iran and around the world. The study was carried out to increase the vase life and quality of cut rose ‘Grand Prix` and ‘Avallanche` by using various floral preservative solutions. Floral preservative solutions were AgNO3, 8-HQS, nano silver and distilled water. Treatments were compared with tap water as control. The experime...

Present study was carried out to assess the genetic variability and correlation for yield its contributing traits using 89 elite lines of kabuli during rabi 2018-19. Analysis variance revealed, significant differences among all indicated that presence sufficient amount lines. High GCV% PCV % accounted seed per plant followed by stem height at initiation first flower, number effective pods plant...

BACKGROUND Catharanthus roseus L (C. roseus) has been used to treat a wide assortment of diseases including diabetes. The objective of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and wound healing activity of the flower extract of Catharanthus in rats. METHODS Wound healing activity was determined in rats, after administration (100 mg kg-1 day-1) of the ethanol extract of C. roseus flower, us...

Self-incompatibility in Lilium longiflorum cv. Hinomoto diminishes with aging of the flower. The relation between the diminished self-incompatibility of the aged flower and stylar canal exudate in Lilium longiflorum was studied. Carbohydrate content in stylar canal exudate increased with aging of the flower, indicating that it accumulated with time. During the aging process, the molecular weigh...

Ingenious microstructural design and suitable multicomponent strategy remain challenging for efficient absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with light weight, low filling levels thin sample thickness. Herein, a flexible waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/dielectric carbon nanotube (CNT)/magnetic anisotropic Ni (chain or flower) EMI composite sponge based on the...

Flower image retrieval is a very important step for computer-aided plant species recognition. In this paper, we propose an efficient segmentation method based on color clustering and domain knowledge to extract flower regions from flower images. For flower retrieval, we use the color histogram of a flower region to characterize the color features of flower and two shape-based features sets, Cen...

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Narcissus was studied. SA (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and Put (0, 150 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 108 Narcissus cut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of Islamic...

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid (HA) and nano-calcium chelate on the cut flowers of gerbera cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. The first factor included humic acid at 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor was ass...
