tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is an important commercial cut flower that has a short vase life. an experiment was carried out by using five different levels of humic acid (ha) (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg l-1) and seven different levels of silver nano-particles (snp) (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg l-1) mixed with 1.5% sucrose on cut tuberosa cv. single flower. the loss of fresh weight on third ...

Abstract The ornamental plant sector is growing due to the development of new species and technologies. focus research extend shelf life cut flowers maintain quality customer satisfaction. Techniques such as storage at low temperatures, use preservative solutions, technologies nanotechnology can help floral stem. present review aims analyze various techniques used post-harvest stems. For this p...

Senescence and stresses have been documented to promote ethylene synthesis in ethylene-sensitive flower such as carnations. Thus the inhibition of ethylene evolution might lead to activation of other metabolic reactions. Present experiments were undertaken with cut at bud stage spray-carnation (D. caryophyllus f. spray, Hort.) flowers, cv. Regina and cv. Naslada. Tested cultivars are a new bree...

Pollinating insects utilise various sensory cues to identify and learn rewarding flower species. One such cue is floral temperature, created by captured sunlight or plant thermogenesis. Bumblebees, honeybees and stingless bees can distinguish flowers based on differences in overall temperature between flowers. We report here that floral temperature often differs between different parts of the f...

An experiment was conducted to quantify luminescence of white cut flower carnations after exposure blue glow-in-the-dark powder. Powder applied the flowers as either dip (3, 6, or 9 g) spray solutions in 240 mL water for 4 seconds plus a control. Stem fresh weight, relative stem diameter, and overall solution absorption were greatest on day 4. Only 6-g had greater average quality ratings than c...

Gibberellin (GA) signalling during pumpkin male flower development is highly regulated, including biosynthetic, perception, and transduction pathways. GA 20-oxidases, 3-oxidases, and 2-oxidases catalyse the final part of GA synthesis. Additionally, 7-oxidase initiates this part of the pathway in some cucurbits including Cucurbita maxima L. (pumpkin). Expression patterns for these GA-oxidase-enc...

An experiment entitled Influence of organic manures on growth, flowering, quality and yield carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) cv. Master under naturally ventilated polyhouse conditions Prayagraj was conducted in Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj, during November, 2022 to April, 2023 with an aim identify the most suitable manure combination agroclimatic Pra...

Humic acid is an organic having positive effect on plant growth. The presentstudy was carried out to see the of humic in combination with NPK soil for growth,flower production and vase life gladiolus flowers. Five treatments i.e. nitrogen, phosphorous, potash(NPK) (17:17:17) (10 g), 8% (1.0 mL) + (2.0 mL)+ (3.0 (10g) were studied, whereastreatment without exogenous feeding served as control. Al...
