abstract during the winter and spring of 2007 and 2008, 450 samples (leaves of carnation plants) showing symptoms of yellowing, mottling, leaf malformation, and stunting were collected from greenhouses in mashhad and chenaran regions. the samples were tested by das-elisa for the presence of carmv. total rna was extracted by rnxtm (-plus) solution from positive infected samples confirmed in das-...

We used conventional cross-breeding techniques to develop many carnation lines with long vase life and either low ethylene production or low ethylene sensitivity. Two cycles of selection and crossing to improve vase life led to a 3.6-day increase in mean vase life. All 39 selected lines had signi®cantly longer vase life than the control cultivar, `White Sim'. In particular, second-generation li...

this research was carried out in order to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of ethanol and methanol (0, 4, 6 and 12%) and two pulse treatments (12 and 24 hour) on longevity of cut standard-carnation (sensi cultivar) in a factorial based on randomized completely design with three replications, at tehran university, aboreyhan pardis, horticulture department, during 2010. the resu...

case of a florist with rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma due to sensitisation to Freesia, which is from the same family as the gladiolus. Ordoqui 6 reported a case of a florist, who has worked with plants for 18 years. He refers respiratory symptoms upon exposure to gladiolus and carnation, with positive prick test to these plants, specific IgE by ELISA on patient serum, and positive bronchial cha...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophylinus) is one of the most popular ornamental flowers worldwide. etched ring virus (CERV), belonging to Caulimovirus genus, second significant on carnation crops around world. CERV particles are isometric, with a diameter 47 nm, which contains double-stranded, circular DNA at length about 7932 kbp as genome. causes necrotic flecks, rings and line patterns leaves. Infe...
