dog rose (rosa canina l.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as rosa hybrid and rosa floribunda. in vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation of rosa canina l. was revised, usin...

The photosynthetic leaf characteristics of two rose species native to Japan were measured. The optimum temperature range for photosynthesis of Rosa bracteata was higher than that of Rosa rugosa. The photosynthetic response to temperature of R. bracteata was slower than that of R. rugosa. Maximum photosynthetic rates were reached at an irradiance of higher than 750 m mol mÿ2 sÿ1 in both species....

The effects of a rose-flower extract, Rosa damascena, on the mortality rate of Drosophila melanogaster was evaluated in this study. R. damascena is a potent antioxidant that has many therapeutic uses in addition to its perfuming effects. Supplementing Drosophila with this rose extract resulted in a statistically significant decrease in mortality rate in male and female flies. Moreover, the obse...

The galactolipid (2S)-1,2-di-O-[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl]-3-O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl glycerol (1) isolated from dried and milled fruits of Rosa canina by bioassay-guided fractionation is an antiinflammatory agent with inhibitory effects on chemotaxis of human peripheral blood neutrophils in vitro. The inhibition of cell migration is not related to toxicity. The presence of 1 in r...

Dog rose (Rosa canina) is one of the most important flower crops in the world and has a value in ornamental, pharmaceutical and cosmetic trade. Also it was used as a root stock for other cultivars of Rose. Hence this investigation was attempted with the aim to study direct regeneration of Rosa canina. The experimental data of the present investigation was analyzed statistically by using complet...

Rosa species, rose hips, are widespread wild plants that have been traditionally used as medicinal compounds for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The therapeutic potential of these plants is based on its antioxidant effects caused by or associated with its phytochemical composition, which includes ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and healthy fatty acids among others. Over the last ...

In order to study on different methods of application of polyamines (putrescine, spermine, spermidine) on some morphological, physiological, enzymatic and vase life of Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Dolce Vita’, experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 32 treatments, 3 replicates and each replication containing 5 vases, a total of 480 vases were executed. Fir...

micropropagation is a proper approach to rapid and large-scale propagation of rootstocks and rose cultivars for huge demand of flower market. proliferation rate of shoot is decreased drastically following several subcultures. growth regulators have remarkable effects on the key phase of proliferation in micropropagation of this popular crop. in this research the effects of bap and antiauxin of ...

identification of genes with invariant levels of gene expression is a prerequisite for validating transcriptomicchanges accompanying development. ideally expression of these genes should be independent of themorphogenetic process or environmental condition.we report here the validation of internal control genei.e.tps (trehalose 6-phosphate-synthase) in cotton (gossypium spp), using taqman syste...

Rose water is one of the most important products obtained from Rosa genus (Rosaceae). Although Iran is one of the main producers of rose water, limited research has been done on it. A simple distillation and a Clevenger-type apparatus were used to obtain rose water and rose oil. All the volatile concentrates were investigated for their chemical composition by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chr...
