Endophytes are fungi that cause asymptomatic infections in leaves and stems of healthy plants. This study evaluated the presence of endophytic fungi on leaves of Rosa hybrida collected in Bogota, (Colombia) using histological techniques and light microscopy. Histological preparations showed fungal mycelium with few cells in the vascular tissue. Colonization of mesophyll cells was not observed. ...

Cell expansion is crucial for plant growth. It is well known that the phytohormone ethylene functions in plant development as a key modulator of cell expansion. However, the role of ethylene in the regulation of this process remains unclear. In this study, 2,189 ethylene-responsive transcripts were identified in rose (Rosa hybrida) petals using transcriptome sequencing and microarray analysis. ...

in vitro propagation of plant has played a very important role in rapidmultiplication of cultivars with desirable traits and production of healthy and disease-free plants. in the present investigation, the objectives were to optimize the micropropagation of rose hybrid ‘black baccarat’ cultivar. in proliferation step, the nodal segments (1.5 cm) was cultured on both liquid and solid media (ms, ...

interactive effect of plant growth regulators6-benzylaminopurine (bap) (0, 2, 4 and 8 µm) and1-naphtalene acetic acid (naa) (0, 0.05, 0.25 and 0.5µm) in van der salm (vs) medium was used to optimize in vitro propagation of rosa hybrida cv. iceberg.shoot proliferation and number of new leaves weremeasured as growth indicators. as the concentrationof bap was raised, growth rate increased with all...

rhizoctonia-like fungi were isolated from the infected roots of miniature rose (rosa hybrida cv. linda) plant with chlorosis and necrosis symptoms, grown in commercial glasshouse in rafsanjan, iran, during the autumn of 2011. all of the isolates were identified as binucleate rhizoctonia sp. on the basis of hyphal characteristics and nuclei number. they were tested for detection of the anastomos...

We propose that mycorrhizal colonization of roots alters nonhydraulic root to shoot communication of soil drying. Split-root rose (Rosa hybrida L. cv Samantha) plants-one side of the root system colonized by Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, the other side nonmycorrhizal-displayed different stomatal conductances upon partial drying, depending upon whether mycorrhizal or nonmycorrhizal roots ...

Flower color is the main character throughout the plant kingdom. Though substantial information exists regarding the structural and regulatory genes involved in anthocyanin and flavonol biosynthesis, little is known that what make a diverse white vs. red color flower in natural species. Here, the contents of pigments in seven species from varied phylogenetic location in plants with red and whit...

The scent of roses (Rosa x hybrida) is composed of hundreds of volatile molecules. Monoterpenes represent up to 70% percent of the scent content in some cultivars, such as the Papa Meilland rose. Monoterpene biosynthesis in plants relies on plastid-localized terpene synthases. Combining transcriptomic and genetic approaches, we show that the Nudix hydrolase RhNUDX1, localized in the cytoplasm, ...
