Phytochemical investigation of Tanacetum parthenium L. family Asteraceae cultivated in Egypt resulted in isolation and identification of four flavonoids. One surface flavonoid was isolated from the fresh leaves and three other flavonoids were isolated from the flower heads. Four sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves. Two sterols were isolated from the roots. A comparative study o...

the aim of this study was the better assessment of the relationship of pulsing treatment of gibberellic acid as an anti-senescence agent and holding in sucrose as a carbohydrate supply resource on improving some qualitative and physiological attributes of cut rose flower cv. velvet. hence, an experiment involving the pulsing treatment with gibberllic acid (ga3) at 0, 20, 40 and 60 mg l-1, for 2...

Objective: Chamomile is one of the commercial medicinal plants produced in Ethiopia. Besides, it is priority crop in national aromatic and medicinal plants research project in the country. As chamomile production affected by production techniques this activity was conducted to identify the effect of seed storage duration and seedling raising methods on its seedling establishmen...

the effect of some treatments including preserving solution (20g l-1 sucrose plus 200 ppm 8-hqs), ba and tdz (pulse or spray) with preserving solution were evaluated on senescence parameters and vase life of rose cut flowers cv. red gant. preserving solution, applying 25 mm ba with preserving solution increased solution absorbance, and prevented the cut flowers from getting decreased in relativ...

Marigold flower extract, a natural pigment, was used to determine its effect on carcass and skin pigmentation, immunity and growth performance of broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty 1-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatment groups with six replicates in a randomized block design. Birds were fed basal diet for 42 d with or without supplementation of m...

As most work on flower foraging focuses on bees, studying Lepidoptera can offer fresh perspectives on how sensory capabilities shape the interaction between flowers and insects. Through a combination of innate preferences and learning, many Lepidoptera persistently visit particular flower species. Butterflies tend to rely on their highly developed sense of colour to locate rewarding flowers, wh...

An experiment was conducted to study genetic variability, heritability and advance among twenty varieties of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) at the College Farm, Horticulture, Department Floriculture Landscape Architecture, SDAU, Jagudan during 2020-21. A wide variation in performance were recorded for various growth, flowering, yield quality parameters results shows that magnit...

in this study, the amount of total phenol, chlorogenic acid, catechin, quercetin, phloridzin, cyanidin and antioxidant activity of apple (malus domestica) skin and flesh of six iranian cultivars, including: ‘golab kohanz’, ‘sib torsh dirras’, ‘ghara yapragh’, ‘torkman’, ‘ghezel alma’ and ‘abbasi mashhad’, and four commercial cultivars including: ‘golden delicious’, ‘red delicious’, ‘braeburn’ a...
