In this work, the effect of ethylene on flower opening of cut rose (Rosa hybrida) cv. Samantha was studied. However, although ethylene hastened the process of flower opening, 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), an ethylene action inhibitor, impeded it. Ethylene promoted ethylene production in petals, but 1-MCP did not inhibit this process. Of the four ethylene biosynthetic genes tested, Rh-ACS1 and R...

interactive effect of plant growth regulators6-benzylaminopurine (bap) (0, 2, 4 and 8 µm) and1-naphtalene acetic acid (naa) (0, 0.05, 0.25 and 0.5µm) in van der salm (vs) medium was used to optimize in vitro propagation of rosa hybrida cv. iceberg.shoot proliferation and number of new leaves weremeasured as growth indicators. as the concentrationof bap was raised, growth rate increased with all...

the aim of this reaserch was evaluathng the aluminum-sulphate concentration levels in preserved solution with stem recutting on longevity of rosa hybrida cv. varlon cut flowers. the investigation was conducted in horticultural lab,agriculturalcollege,zanjanuniversity. rose cut stems were produced in greenhouse from biennial mother stocks and were placed under the treatment of aluminum-sulphate ...

An experiment was conducted to find the appropriate material for increasing quantitative and qualitative traits in pre, postharvest vase-life of cut rose flower cv. “Avalanche” a hydroponic greenhouse based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 16 treatments 3 replications. Treatments included gibberellic acid at four levels (0, 100, 200, 300 ppm) salicylic 150, 200 ppm). The foliar a...

rosa hybrida l. is an important commercial cut flower. salicylic acid (sa) and calcium chloride (cacl2) act as endogenous signal molecules responsible for growth parameters in plants. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of preharvest sa and cacl2 treatments in extending the vase life of cut rose flowers. therefore, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with ...

Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype I) isolates found in stunted, yellowing, and wilted ornamental rose (Rosa spp.) were assessed for their pathogenic ability in two rose cultivars (cv. "Armando" and cv. "Red Naomi") and in four solanaceous crops: tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. "Money Maker"), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. "White Burley"), eggplant (Solanum melonge...
