`Morning Mist' Gladiolus

Evaluation Of Different Herbicides In Gladiolus (Gladiolus Grandiflorus L.)

An experiment was carried out at Regional Research Station, Wadura, SKUASTKashmir during 2012-2013 to evaluate different herbicides in gladiolus. The experiment consisted of eight different herbicides, cultural practices as weed control treatment and unweeded control and were replicated thrice in randomised block design. Among four herbicides i.e atrazine, metribuzin, butachlor and pendimethali...

Verification of impact of morning showering and mist sauna bathing on human physiological functions and work efficiency during the day

Recently, a growing number in Japan are switching to taking baths in the morning (morning bathing). However, the effects of the morning bathing on human physiological functions and work efficiency have not yet been revealed. Then, we hypothesized that the effect of morning bathing on physiological functions would be different from those of night bathing. In this study, we measured the physiolog...

Complete amino acid sequence of chitinase-a from bulbs of gladiolus (Gladiolus gandavensis).

The complete amino acid sequence of gladiolus bulb chitinase-a (GBC-a) was determined. First the tryptic peptides from GBC-a after it was reduced and S-carboxymethylated were sequenced and then the peptides were further studied by chemical cleavage of the enzyme. GBC-a consisted of 274 amino acid residues and had a molecular mass of 30,714 Da. Two consensus sequences essential for chitinase act...

Relation between the low temperature stress and catalase activity in gladiolus somaclones (Gladiolus grandiflorus Hort.)

In order to evaluate low temperature tolerance of five variable somaclones as well as the cv. Peter Pears of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus Hort.) from which they were originated, catalase (CAT) activity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level were measured. Before carrying out the analyses, vitroplants of these clones were exposed, during 21 days, to 8 8C temperature. In response to the stress g...
