Varieties of the economically important ornamental species chrysanthemum have been bred to fit a number of market niches, but the genetic basis and evolutionary relationships among various cultivated types are poorly understood. Here, a DNA marker-based analysis of 199 chrysanthemum entries representing each of the five cultivated types is presented. A set of >90,000 single nucleotide polymorph...

Dried Chrysanthemum morifolium flowers have traditionally been used in Korea for the treatment of insomnia. This study was performed to investigate whether the ethanol extract of Chrysanthemum morifolium flowers (EFC) enhances pentobarbital-induced sleep behaviors. EFC prolonged sleep time induced by pentobarbital similar to muscimol, a GABA(A) receptors agonist. EFC also increased sleep rate a...

The antioxidant function of edible flowers have attracted increasing interest. However, information is lacking on the impact of edible flowers on oxidative injury including hypoxia-re-oxygenation and hyperlipidemia. The antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts from 12 Chinese edible flowers were assessed in four different antioxidant models, including total antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxygen ...

'The great appear great, because we are on our knees. Let us rise!,' wrote Larkin. Jean Faugier ( 1 ) described the 'tall poppy syndrome' and spoke of 'bold, nonconformist', brightly- coloured flowers being chopped down mercilessly by farmers just because they were different and stood above the rest in the wheatfields.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Tunisian Chrysanthemum species are known to have medicinal activity and some of the species are used in traditional medicine. We have earlier shown the use of C. trifurcatum flowerheads in Tunisian traditional medicine to treat constipation. In the present study we investigated the anti microbiol activity of four Tunision Chrysanthemum species. METHODS Different parts (...

Tomohon City is the largest producer of chrysanthemum in North Sulawesi. The aim research: to analyze prospect development. study was conducted five sub-districts City, May – October 2021. samples are 50 farmers, and 7 ornamental plant traders. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis, SWOT financial feasibility analysis. results showed that: developing Chrysanthemum has good prospects, where po...

Abstract In tropical areas, since the day length (DL) is shorter than critical DL for chrysanthemum (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Kitam.), flowers before reaching required stem (SL) cut flower. Two experiments were conducted with aim of determining vegetative growth genotype; to attain a SL and promote using night break (NB) red light spray type chrysanthemum. first experiment, was extended by o...

A temperature-dependent xylem occlusion was found in cut chrysanthemum stems (Dendranthema grandiflora, cv. Viking) which were placed for 24 h in air at 5°C prior to vase life evaluation. The response was inhibited by a 5-h treatment, prior to placement in air, with aqueous solutions at low initial pH or solutions containing near-neutral antioxidants (n-propylgallate, phloroglucinol, butylated ...
