A study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (Lilium longifolium L. cv. Mero Star). In production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. Increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

Background: Lilium (Lilium longiflorum Thunb.) belongs to the family Liliaceae and is a native of Northern Hemisphere (up South Canada Siberia). Conventionally, lilium can easily be propagated by sexual asexual methods propagation but these prevalent are not capable meeting increasing demand in domestic global market. Generally, through bulbs which has bottlenecks like high cost planting materi...

We aimed to produce intergeneric hybrid plants with only one or a few alien chromosomes via microprotoplast fusion for genetic improvement and chromosome studies in Liliaceous ornamental plants. In order to apply this technique, it is essential to establish an efficient system for mass-preparation of microprotoplasts. We have established 2 different systems for isolating microprotoplasts, one f...

Spatio-temporal patterns of snowmelt and flowering times affect fruiting success in Erythronium grandiflorum Pursh (Liliaceae) in subalpine western Colorado, USA. From 1990 to 1995, I measured the consistency across years of snowmelt patterns and flowering times along a permanent transect. In most years since 1993, I have monitored fruit set in temporal cohorts (early- to late-flowering groups ...

The ordering dynamics of the Higgs field is studied, using techniques inspired by the study of phase ordering in condensed matter physics, as a first step to understanding the evolution of cosmic structure through the formation of topological defects in the early universe. The common feature of these different physical processes is scaling. A fully analytical approximate scheme − the linear-gau...
