The healing potential and usefulness of plants is known since historic times. Impatiens walleriana Hook.f. (Family - Balsaminaceae) the most cultivated plant from genus “Impatiens”. It explored by floriculture horticulture industries. has culinary uses with to be researched food industry. Many modern medicines are plant-derived I. used as medicine backed ethnopharmacological data. finds a numbe...

The coqui frog (Eleutherodactylus coqui) is native to Puerto Rico and was accidentally introduced to the State of Hawai‘i through contaminated nursery products from the Caribbean. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, coqui have become widely dispersed and in some areas population densities have reached 55,000 frogs/ha. The coqui frog is a species of concern because individual frogs can pro...

Randall, Wesley C. M.S., Purdue University, August 2014. Supplemental, end-of-day, and sole-source lighting from light-emitting diodes influences growth, morphology, and quality of annual bedding plant seedlings. Major Professor: Roberto G. Lopez. Annual bedding plants make up the largest sector of the U.S. floriculture industry. Highquality annual bedding plant seedlings are compact, fully roo...

Healthy buds of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia growing in the Kashmir University Botanic Garden were selected for the present study. Flower development and senescence was divided into seven stages, viz., tight bud stage (I), mature bud stage (II), pencil stage (III), partially open stage (IV), open stage (V), partially senescent stage (VI) and senescent stage (VII). Various physiological and biochem...

In Hawaii, the extremely loud mating calls of invasive Puerto Rican coquís (Eleutherodactylus coqui Thomas) depress real estate values in infested areas and reduce tourist appeal, with significant economic repercussions. Measures required to prevent inter-island transport of frogs also result in substantial costs for the floriculture industry. Classical biological control has been used successf...

Roses (Rosa indica) belong to one of the most crucial groups of plants in the floriculture industry. Rosa species have special fragrances of interest to the perfume and pharmaceutical industries. The genetic diversity of plants based on morphological characteristics is difficult to measure under natural conditions due to the influence of environmental factors, which is why a reliable fingerprin...

Today, many applications are made to increase flower yield in order meet the high demand sector. However, chemical productivity both require costs and cause irreversible damages by disrupting physical balance of soil. For this reason, it is aimed reduce use fertilizers pesticides with various microorganisms called biofertilizers, which provide a more economical environmentally friendly fertiliz...

Abstract Heliconias are tropical plants with ornamental potential. These particularly used in the floriculture industry because of their exotic colors and shapes. Species characterization is important for selection genotypes plant market subsequent application studies genetic improvement. The aim this study was to estimate divergence Heliconia densiflora psittacorum accessions based on quantita...
