Based on 11 years of introduction and trial planting, resource evaluation, and hybrid breeding, selected herbaceous peonies 'Fluttering Pink' 'Fairy's Cheek' 'Blushing Smile' and 'Tiny Lotus' from the many progenies of directional hybridization. Fluttering Pink and Fairy's Cheek belong to the...

With diploid and tetraploid Hedychium coronarium as test material, the developmental process of cut flowers were observed. Micrographic changes of the flower stem base, corolla tube and petals were identified by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. With the bent neck of corolla tube and...

Background and Objectives: Rose with the scientific name of Rosa hybida L. is one of the most important and popular ornamental flowers in the world. One of the important measures in increasing the yield and quality of greenhouse roses is to increase the light available to the plant in cloudy and...

Cryopreservation, storing biological material in liquid nitrogen (LN, -196°C), offers a valuable option for the long-term conservation of non-orthodox seeds and vegetatively propagated species in the sector of agrobiodiversity and wild flora. Although large-scale cryobanking of germplasm...

Light is not only a photosynthetic energy source for biochemically plant cellular accumulation but also the most important signaling messenger for plant growth, development, and environmental adaptations, influencing the postharvest quality and longevity. In this study, to optimize the biochemical...

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus L.) are an important fresh-cut flower in the international flower market. During storage and transportation, snapdragons often undergo a gravitropic response that has a substantial adverse effect on their ornamental and market value. The gravitropic response is a...

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Milviscutulus mangiferae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccidae), the mango shield scale, for the EU. The native range of M. mangiferae is uncertain. This species occurs widely in tropical and warmer subtropical regions throughout the...

Rose is among the most important cut flower crops worldwide. The vase life is an important indicator of cut rose quality. The composition of the vase solution directly affects vase life. Neoagaro-oligosaccharides (NAOS) are degraded seaweed-derived polysaccharides that constitute a group of...

This study investigates the effect of CO₂ fertilization before harvest using 800 mol.mol^-1 from November 2021 to May 2022 and vase solution treatment using slightly acidic electrolyzed water (HOCl 5 µL.L^-1, pH 5.0-6.5) after harvest of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Moonstar'. The CO₂ fertilization + HOCl...

Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), as a high-end cut flower in the international market, has high ornamental and medicinal values. But in Northern China, drought is a major environmental factor influencing the growth and development of P. lactiflora. Quantitative real-time polymerase...
