tuberose (polianthus tuberosa) is a commercially important cut flower; but its longevity and quality characteristics are compromised by stress during storage and transportation. thus, it is important to determine the most appropriate preservative solution to best maintained cut flowers. tests were done to examine the effects on of nano-silver (ns) (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg l-1) and sucrose (0, 4 and...

the use of isomalt and maltitol instead of sucrose in foods has an important role in human health as controlling blood glucose levels and weight management. in this study, isomalt and maltitol instead of sucrose were used at three concentration level (75, 85, and 100%). effects of the polyols were investigated on physicochemical properties (size of bubble cake batter, moisture content, water ac...

As sugar beet source leaves lowered the CO(2) concentration to compensation point in a closed atmosphere, leaf thickness and relative water content decreased. Leaf water potential declined rapidly from -0.5 to -1.4 megapascals. At 340 microliters CO(2) per liter, water potential and sucrose, glucose, and fructose contents were steady in photosynthesizing source leaves. Within 90 minutes after l...

plantlets grown in conventional tissue culture systems usually encounter physiological and anatomical abnormalities including inability to photosynthesize, low chlorophyll content, open stomata, lack of a cuticle layer in the leaf, abnormal xylem parenchyma etc. photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic systems could diminish these problems. the purpose of this study was to increase the chlorophyll...
