tuberose is one of the most important floral crops in iran. long spikes of fragrant flowers make it excellent for cut flower. due to the beauty and sweet fragrance of flowers, it used in all seasons for flower arrangements. production of high quality flowers and vase life extension is important for competition in world markets. for this reason this research was conducted on polianthes tuberosa ...

A reverse phase High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine puerarin in Pueraria tuberose was developed and described. The method involves separation of active compound using mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: water: orthophosporic acid in the ratio of 32:67:01 and detecting the chromatogram at 280 nm using photodiode array detector. The sensitivity of the method was ob...

Recent research on seeds of bio-diesel plants like Jatropha curcas, constituting 40-50% bio-crude oil indicates its potential as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of energy. Also, limited studies on utilization of de-oiled cake have revealed that Jatropha bio-waste has good potential to be used as organic fertilizers produced via aerobic and anaerobic treatment. How...

the aim of this research was to improve postharvest quality and vase life of tuberose cut flowers. treatments in this experiment included: distilled water, 3% ethanol and 5% sucrose as control, thyme oil in 3 levels (50, 75 and 100 mg/l), accel in 3 level (25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and for some of flowers pulsing with 5% sucrose in first 24 hours then puting cut flowers treated with sucrose in thyme ...

The foliar nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi causes white tip disease in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and floral malady in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.). This nematode is widely distributed in the rice fields of many states of India, including West Bengal (WB), Andhra Pradesh (AP), Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Gujarat (GT). In order to generate information on intraspecific variations of A. besseyi as we...

BACKGROUND Neonatal Tuberose sclerosis complex may be associated with symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyomas. Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common cardiac tumours. The symptoms include haemodynamic instability and life threatening arrhythmias usually requiring early surgical intervention. RESULTS We report a case of a 32 week gestation newborn diagnosed with a right ventricular outflow tract ma...

Introduction Angiomyolipoma (hamartoma) of the kidney is a rare finding. Hajdu and Foote (1969) recorded an incidence of 0.31% in 8501 post-mortem cases. McCullough, Scott and Seybold (1971), Becker et al. (1973), Honey and Honey (1977) consider that 50-80% of renal hamartomas appear in patients with tuberose sclerosis. Angiomyolipomas without tuberose sclerosis are usually solitary and unilate...
