BACKGROUND AND AIMS Moss roses are old garden roses covered with a mossy growth on flower pedicel and calyx. This moss releases a pine-scented oleoresin that is very sticky and odoriferous. Rosa x centifolia 'muscosa' was the first moss rose to be obtained by bud-mutation but, interestingly, R. x damascena 'Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux' was the first repeat-blooming cultivar, thus interesting ...

The primary cause of genetically determined muscular dystrophy remains obscure. Evidence in favour of purely myopathic (Walton, 1969), neoronal (Gallup & Dubowitz, 1973), vascular (Hathway et al., 1970) and autoimmune (Jasmin & Bokdawala, 1970) mechanisms has been put forward. Attempts to find a mutant protein have not yet produced any substantial results. The increase that occurs in certain in...

In many parts of Iran high light intensities during summer can induce stress in cut flower production under open field and greenhouse conditions. Despite roses prefer sunny places for optimum growth, but in practice some levels of rough shading is applied in greenhouse production to improve the quality of cut flowers. So, it is useful to find the light intensities under which different rose cul...

Smells are often said to be ineffable, and linguistic research shows that languages like English lack a dedicated olfactory lexicon. Starting from this evidence, I propose an account of how we talk about smells in English. Our reports the way things smell comparative: When say something burnt or roses, characterise thing's by noting its similarity characteristic certain odorous (burnt things, r...
