Plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. In this study, field experiment carried out as factorial Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) in 3 replications. Different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. Second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). Results showed th...

In order to evaluate the effect of medium and spraying calcium nano-fertilizer on quality of cut gerbera flowers, an experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with 7 media and 3 calcium nano-fertilizer concentrations with 3 replications. The media included cocopeat + perlite (1:1), peat moss + perlite (1:1), mushroom compost + perlite (1:1), peat moss + cocopeat + pe...

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Gladioluswas studied. SA (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and Put (0, 100, 200 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 192 Gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of...

to study the effect of different substrates on growth and yield of gerbera, this experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design with 14 treatments and 3 replications. treatments were as fallowing: 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%), perli...

abstract growth retardants are new chemical organic compounds that increase period of flowering, leave chlorophyll, lateral shoot number, flower number and decrease vegetative growth. they also increase dry, cold and heat tolerance. paclobutrazol and cycocel are examples of these compounds. this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol and cycocel on some quantitative and qua...

The present study has assessed the effect of Cola in increasing flower longevity of flower and delaying aging of cut Alstroemeria ‘Balance’. Distilled water was used as control. Traits of flower diameter, solution absorption ,anthocyanins, total soluble solids and chlorophyll were measured at 3 times and vase life was measured daily. Based on the results, flower diameter, anthocyanins and chlor...

Tagetes erecta is an important commercial plant of Asteraceae family. The male sterile (MS) and male fertile (MF) two-type lines of T. erecta have been utilized in F1 hybrid production for many years, but no report has been made to identify the genes that specify its male sterility that is caused by homeotic conversion of floral organs. In this study, transcriptome assembly and digital gene exp...
