Alstroemeria pelegrina (A. pelegrina), a Chilean endemic, is considered vulnerable as its natural habitat currently threatened. The decline in the reproductive capacity of species due to anthropogenic impacts and climate change has made it imperative address problem by developing large-scale propagation methods. objective this study was establish protocols for breaking dormancy vitro germinatio...

Petal development and senescence entails a normally irreversible process. It starts with petal expansion and pigment production, and ends with nutrient remobilization and ultimately cell death. In many species this is accompanied by petal abscission. Post-harvest stress is an important factor in limiting petal longevity in cut flowers and accelerates some of the processes of senescence such as ...
