Abstract Diseases caused by bacteria are an important and widespread constraint, occurring in almost all crops, including vegetables, pulses, cereals, ornamentals, fruit forages. Although several strategies have been developed to obtain disease resistance plants using genetic engineering, few studies effectively demonstrated the control of bacterial diseases. It has previously reported that a g...

Abstract Worldwide the number of non-native species escaping from cultivation into native habitats is steadily increasing with no signs saturation. Species that eventually become invasive may generate unwanted social and ecological conditions especially in areas conservation concern. This study built upon prior biodiversity work 432 residential yards San Juan Metropolitan Area Puerto Rico to ev...

A breeder can select a visually appealing phenotype, whether for ornamentation or landscaping. However, the organic vision is not accurate and objective, making it challenging to bring reliable phenotyping intervention into implementation. Therefore, objective of this study was develop an innovative solution predict intensity flower’s color upon external shape crop. We merged single linear iter...

Sixty-nine herbaceous perennial ornamentals in 56 genera were evaluated for root galling after 2 months in soil infested with Meloidogyne hapla under greenhouse conditions. Plants were rated susceptible or resistant based on the number of galls present on the root system. Thirty-six percent had more than 100 galls on the roots (similar to 'Rutgers' tomato controls) and were rated susceptible. T...

The hill regions of India include Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Uttarakhand and the North Eastern region (NE) comprising states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim, has been identified as a potential area for the development of floriculture owing to its diverse geo-climatic conditions and floral biodiversity. The existing flower crops in NE region inc...

The hollies (Ilex L., Aquifoliaceae) form a large (>669 spp.) genus of forest trees and shrubs, which is almost cosmopolitan in mesic environments but most diverse subtropical China montane South America. Throughout the range genus, Ilex species have been utilized as beverages, medicines, ornamentals, honey plants, timber, for various other minor uses. Recent studies on genomics, evolution, ...

Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) has become a key insect pest of agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide. Little is known about host plant resistance to thrips. In this study, we investigated thrips resistance in chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora). We identified thrips-resistant chrysanthemums applying bioassays. Subsequently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-base...
