چکیده

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nano-silver (ns), calcium chloride (cacl2) and their combinations on gerbera jamesonii ‘carambole’ cut flowers. the experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (crd) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. treatments consisted of 5 mg l-1 ns, 1% and 2% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns+ 1% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns + 2% cacl2, 0.1% and 0.2% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns + 0.1% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns + 0.2% cacl2 and a control. it was revealed that cacl2 postharvest spray, ns in a vase solution, as well as their combinations could significantly increase the vase life of gerbera flowers. the longest postharvest life of treated flowers was obtained from 5 mg l-1 ns and 5 mg l-1 ns + 1% cacl2 treatments. the highest solution uptake was observed in 5 mg l-1 ns, 5 mg l-1 ns + 2% cacl2 and 5 mg l-1 ns +1% cacl2 treatments. furthermore, application of ns and cacl2 resulted in a reduced loss of relative fresh weight. the application of cacl2 alone was able to increase all mentioned traits; however, this increase was less than 5 mg l-1 ns, 5 mg l-1 ns + 1% cacl2 and 5 mg l-1 ns + 2% cacl2 treatments. additionally, in vitro cultivation and microscopic counting of microorganisms showed that microorganism growth at the end of flowering stems had been largely restricted by using ns solely or in combination with cacl2.

Investigation on Some Morphological and Physiological Characteristics of Gerbera jamesonii as Affected by Humic Acid and Nano-Calcium Chelate in Hydroponic Culture Conditions

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid (HA) and nano-calcium chelate on the cut flowers of gerbera cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. The first factor included humic acid at 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor was ass...

Rapid plant regeneration from Gerbera jamesonii Bolus callus cultures

A high frequency shoot organogenesis and plant establishment protocol has been developed for Gerbera jamesonii from ex vitro leaf derived callus. The optimal callus was developed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.4 mg L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 4.0 mg L -naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 3% (w/v) sucrose. Two callus types differing in their structures and growth rat...

Postharvest Assessment of Lignifying Enzymes Activity, Flower Stem Lignification and Bending Disorder of Gerbera Cut Flower

Scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. One of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. This postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...
