Flower opening is an event accompanied by morphological changes in petals which include elongation, expansion, and outward-curving. Petal cell growth is a fundamental process that underlies such phenomena, but its molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. Suppression subtractive hybridization was performed between petals during the early elongation period (stage 1) and during the opening per...

in this research, the effects of pulsing application of preservative solutions containing salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) and long period application of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg/l), menthol (75 and 125 mg/l) and eugenol (50 and 100 mg/l) on the maintain quality and extend vase-life of carnation cut flowers two tests were eva...

The present investigation entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Salicylic (SA) on the yield carnation under naturally ventilated polyhouse”, was carried out during November, 2021 to April 2022 in, Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse, Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, it concluded that treatments rendered their significant effect almost al...

The carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is one of the top-selling commercial cut-flower crops worldwide, which is very susceptible to infections. Micro propagation is an advanced biotechnological system for producing free of pathogen colonies. Too many factors may limit micro propagation of plants, which the most important of them is contamination (e.g., fungal, bacterial and viral infections). T...

Using a combination of approaches, three EIN3-like (EIL) genes DC-EIL1/2 (AY728191), DC-EIL3 (AY728192), and DC-EIL4 (AY728193) were isolated from carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) petals. DC-EIL1/2 deduced amino acid sequence shares 98% identity with the previously cloned and characterized carnation DC-EIL1 (AF261654), 62% identity with DC-EIL3, and 60% identity with DC-EIL4. DC-EIL3 deduced a...

2,4-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA) is a structural analog of 2-oxoglutarate and has been shown to inhibit 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases by competing with 2-oxoglutarate, and ethylene production in detached carnation flowers by competing with ascorbate on 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase action. In the present study, the inhibition of ACC oxidase action by PDCA was confi...

Abstract Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus ‘Servantes’) is a popular and economically cut flower widely used in the florist industry. However, post-harvest senescence occurs few days limits carnation flowers’ commercialization. Therefore, this research was performed to investigate impact of essential oils such as tea tree oil (TTO), pumpkin seed (PSO), Moringa (MEO), Eucalyptus (EEO), eco-friend...

In senescing carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers, ethylene is produced from the gynoecium, and acts as a diffusible signal received by petals to induce the expression of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (DC-ACS1) and ACC oxidase (DC-ACO1) genes in the petals. This results in autocatalytic ethylene production in the petals. We investigated ethylene production in cut flow...
