An experiment was carried out to evaluate an advance breeding line of tuberose double type IIHR-4 along with check for flowering, yield and resistance root knot nematode Alternaria leaf burn disease. The hybrid selection developed through hybridization by crossing Mexican Single x Pearl Double, followed selection. Double found be novel better flowering quality traits such as short spike (62.00 ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (polianthes tuberosa cv. single). these preservative solutions (treatments) were: t1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3, t2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, t3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs, t4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs+ 25 mg/l citric acid, t5= 2% sucro...

Tuberose (Polianthus tuberosa) is a commercially important cut flower; but its longevity and quality characteristics are compromised by stress during storage and transportation. Thus, it is important to determine the most appropriate preservative solution to best maintained cut flowers. Tests were done to examine the effects on of nano-silver (NS) (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg L-1) and sucrose (0, 4 and...

Water stress is one of the main factors of severe damage and limitation of plant production in Iran. The paper reports a pot experiment conducted by using a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications (each replication composed of four pots) to compare the physiological and biochemical characteristics of two varieties of tuberose (double- and single-flow...
