An experiment was conducted to quantify luminescence of white cut flower carnations after exposure blue glow-in-the-dark powder. Powder applied the flowers as either dip (3, 6, or 9 g) spray solutions in 240 mL water for 4 seconds plus a control. Stem fresh weight, relative stem diameter, and overall solution absorption were greatest on day 4. Only 6-g had greater average quality ratings than c...

Fusarium commune sp. nov. was isolated from soil and Pisum sativum in Denmark and several widespread locations within the northern hemisphere from diverse substrates including white pine, Douglas fir, carnation, corn, carrot, barley and soil. Fusarium commune is characterized by and distinguished from its putative sister taxon, the F. oxysporum complex, in having long, slender monophialides and...

The translation strategy of carnation mottle virus (CarMV) in vitro has been generally assumed to involve internal initiation events on full-length, genomic RNA (4.3 kb). We suggest that this is, at least in part, incorrect. Encapsidated RNA, fractionated on denaturing sucrose gradients, or total RNA from CarMV-infected leaves, fractionated under non-denaturing conditions, was translated in an ...

Latex-Ficus carica var. Kadota latex was collected from the green fruit of trees grown in the orchard of Mr. V. Ed Scott of Planada, California, as described (1). Subsequent storage and centrifugation have also been described (1). Reagents-Carnation instant nonfat dry milk was used for milk-clotting activity determinations. Barbital was obtained from Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, St. Louis, Miss...
