Response of Pollen Viability in Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorusL.) to Storage Method and Period

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...

Effect of Pulsing and Wet Cold Storage on the Quality and Vase Life of Cut Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) ‘Fado’

Floriculture is among Kenya’s top foreign exchange earners. Gladiolus is one of the four famous cut flowers in the world whose popularity in Kenya is attributed to its heat tolerance, many spike forms and color combinations. However, the perishable nature of the flower renders it vulnerable to huge post-harvest losses. The study aimed to evaluate pulsing effect of cut Gladiolus</em...

Rhinoconjunctivitis-asthma due to sensitisation to gladiolus.

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...

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...
