Flowering and Morphogenesis of Kalanchoe in Response to Quality and Intensity of Night Interruption Light.

The effects of the quality and intensity of night interruption light (NIL) on the flowering and morphogenesis of kalanchoe () 'Lipstick' and 'Spain' were investigated. Plants were raised in a closed-type plant factory under 250 μmol·m·s PPFD white light emitting diodes (LEDs) with additional light treatments. These treatments were designated long day (LD, 16 h light, 8 h dark), short day (SD, 8 h light, 16 h dark), and SD with a 4 h night interruption (NI).

Supplementary Light Source Affects the Growth and Development of Seedlings.

is widely used in traditional medicine and diets. However, there is no optimal protocol for the commercial production of seedlings. This study was carried out to find the optimum supplementary light source for the production of seedlings.

Proteomic Analysis of Aphid-Resistant and -Sensitive Rose () Cultivars at Two Developmental Stages.

The rose is one the most commercially grown and costly ornamental plants because of its aesthetic beauty and aroma. A large number of pests attack its buds, flowers, leaves, and stem at every growing stage due to its high sugar content. The most common pest on roses are aphids which are considered to be the major cause for product loss.

Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Dynamic Role of Silicon in Alleviation of Hyperhydricity in Carnation Grown In Vitro.

The present study depicted the role of silicon in limiting the hyperhydricity in shoot cultures of carnation through proteomic analysis. Four-week-old healthy shoot cultures of carnation "Purple Beauty" were sub-cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium followed with four treatments, viz. control (-Si/-Hyperhydricity), hyperhydric with no silicon treatment (-Si/+Hyperhydricity), hyperhydric with silicon treatment (+Si/+Hyperhydricity), and only silicon treated with no hyperhydricity (+Si/-Hyperhydricity).
