Scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. One of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. This postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...

An attempt was made to evaluate the utility of a method which employs semi-specific PCR using partially specific primers for the coding sequence (ET) at the exon-intron contact and of the RAPD method to identify eight Polish cultivars of gerbera. It was demonstrated that the PCR method which employs semi-specific primers is as simple and economical as the RAPD method, simultaneously the images ...

Aims: The effects of exogenously applied salicylic acid (SA) on gas exchange characteristics, photosynthetic pigments and chloroplast ultrastructure were investigated in gerbera at their reproductive stage under salt-stressed conditions.
 Methodology: A pot experiment was conducted glasshouse conditions the Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, (30° N/120° E) between February 2008 March 20...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrate on growth and yield of gerbera flower. the experiment was performed using 10 treatments as fallow: fine sand, peat +fine sand (%25+%75), peat + fine sand ( %50 +%50), perlite + peat (%75 + %25), perlite + peat (%50 + %50), perlite + peat (%25 + %75), perlite + peat + expanded clay (%25 + %70 + %5), perlite + peat +...

The presence of plant-parasitic nematodes causing crop loss every year had been overlooked in the existing fruits, vegetables and flowers cultivation system Bangladesh. Therefore, study was conducted to isolate identify plantparasitic from soil infected plant-parts fruits (banana, orange), (pointed gourd, tomato brinjal) flower (gerbera) districts Jashore, Jhenaidah, Gazipur Sylhet during 2017-...

gerbera is one of the ten important cut flowers in terms of production and consumption in the world and iran. in this research effects of foliar application of salicylic acid and thiamine on biochemical characteristics of gerbera flower were investigated. this experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications in the greenhouse commercial of the golazin maghsoud c...

A major component of the evaluation of biological control agents is the study and comparison of their biology, including the reproductive mode. In hymenopteran parasitoids, reproductive modes include thelytoky and arrhenotoky. Since a thelytokous population produces only females, it is assumed that they may be better suited for biological control than an arrhenotokous population. Here we compar...
