Drought is a key abiotic stress that confines agriculture development worldwide. Silicon (Si) commonly considered to be valuable element for resistance against drought and sustainable agriculture. To investigate the morpho-physiological biochemical characteristics of Gerbera jamesonii plants, pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions exposed water (60% FC) well-watered (100% cond...

The present experiment entitled, “Impact of different drying methods and desiccants on storage quality annual chrysanthemum gerbera” was carried out at the laboratory Floriculture Landscape Architecture, Department Horticulture, College Agriculture, JAU, Junagadh during year 2019-2020 to know impact gerbera. laid in completely randomized design with factorial concept two factors i.e. viz. sun s...

For the ornamental crop Gerbera hybrida, breeding at the moment is done using conventional methods. As this has drawbacks in breeding speed and efficiency, especially for complex traits like disease resistance, we set out to develop genomic resources. The leaf and flower bud transcriptomes of four parents, used to generate two gerbera populations, were sequenced using Illumina paired-end sequen...

Despite the differences in flower form, the underlying mechanism in determining the identity of floral organs is largely conserved among different angiosperms, but the details of how the functions of A, B, and C are specified varies greatly among plant species. Here, we report functional analysis of a Gerbera MADS box gene, GRCD1, which is orthologous to AGL2-like MADS box genes. Members of thi...

gerbera cut flowers is one of the important and popular cut flowers in the world that regardless of increasing production of this plant in iran, the duration of its life is short due to rapid wilting petals and bending neck of flower. to increase vase life of gerbera cut flowers cv. ‘alain ducasse’, the essences of eucalyptus and rosa damascena, the combination of these two essences at a concen...
