Two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (Freesia ×hybrida Bailey 'Argenta'). Interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. Using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...

During neural lineage progression, differences in daughter cell proliferation can generate different lineage topologies. This is apparent in the Drosophila neuroblast 5-6 lineage (NB5-6T), which undergoes a daughter cell proliferation switch from generating daughter cells that divide once to generating neurons directly. Simultaneously, neural lineages, e.g. NB5-6T, undergo temporal changes in c...

the effect of 10-year continuous saffron cultivation on physical and chemical properties of a silty clay loam soil was investigated in a research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz (52 º 33ʹ e longitude and 29º 36ʹ n latitude), iran. this farm was irrigated with different regimes (100% of saffron's potential evapotranspiration (etp), 75%etp, 50%etp) including rain fed tre...

the present research was carried out under hydroponic culture to evaluate the interaction between salicylic acid (sa), nickel (ni) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry plants as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. well-rooted daughter plants of pajaro cultivar, were potted in 3 l plastic pots and were sprayed with sa at concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm and...

in order to investigate the effects of soil texture and density on corm and flower yield of saffron (crocus sativus l.) an experiment was conducted as a factorial layout based on complete randomized block design with three replications at the faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during two growing seasons of 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. treatment included 6 soil textures (clay loa...

in order to comparison the foliar application of biological, biostimulator and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics and yield of saffron, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replication in 3- year field of saffron in dargaz, khorasan razavi province from 2010 to 2011. the first factor had 5 levels included biostimulator fertilizer bio...

The author has tested various Rhodochlamys species over 15 years in Finland and found that they were suitable for indoor and greenhouse culture, and also can be grown outdoors during the growing season. As in their natural habitats, these species are seasonal plants with flowering, fruiting, and dormant period; they flower easily every year. Grown as indoor potted plants, they normally go into ...
