Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of selected pulsing solutions on the days to flower bud shrinkage, leaf wilting and petal edge drying occurrence of carnation cultivars (Green-Go and Galy). The pulsing solutions used for this investigation were Silver Thiosulfate (STS) (0.2, 0.6, 1 mM) and also ethanol (6, 8, 10%), both received equal amount of sucrose (10%). Besides, to simulate the actual practice of the farm (0.4 mM Silver Thiosulfate (STS) plus 0.3 mM T.O.G) was used as a standard control. Senescence symptoms such as flower bud shrinkage, petal edge drying and leaf wilting were monitored. The results obtained showed that 1 mM STS plus 25 g sucrose achieved rapid petal edge drying for Green-Go cultivar. On the other hand, positive effects were also observed in days to flower bud shrinkage extended by 6 mM Silver Thiosulfate (STS) plus 25 g sucrose and being in par with 8% ethanol plus 25 g sucrose for Green-Go cultivar. Subsequently, the standard control, 0.6 mM Silver Thiosulfate (STS) plus 25 g sucrose and 8% ethanol plus 25 g sucrose attended comparable increment on the days to leaf wilting occurrences.

Optimized guidelines for feminized seed production in high-THC cultivars.
Front Plant Sci
October 2024
Department of Research and Development, Abstrax Tech, Tustin, CA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- * The process of producing high-THC plants involves feminizing seeds through techniques like using ethylene inhibitors to induce sex reversal, ensuring that female plants, which produce THC, dominate the crop.
- * To optimize the production of viable feminized seeds, guidelines recommend using 3 mM Silver Thiosulfate during the vegetative stage and adjusting light exposure to enhance flowering, while also monitoring seed germination and growth performance for quality assurance.
Characterization of Male Flower Induction by Silver Thiosulfate Foliar Spray in Female Cannabis at the Middle Reproductive Stage for Breeding.
Plants (Basel)
August 2024
Advanced Radiation Technology Institute, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, 29 Geumgu-gil, Jeongeup-si 56212, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Cannabis plants have separate male and female varieties, with female flowers producing higher cannabinoid content, making male flower induction valuable for breeding.
- The research used silver thiosulfate (STS) treatment on three female cannabis cultivars, finding that a concentration of 1.5 mM STS at an early reproductive stage effectively induced male flowers.
- The study concluded that multiple STS treatments maximized male flower induction, with high pollen viability indicating potential for successful self-pollination in the induced male flowers.
Ambient temperature regulates root circumnutation in rice through the ethylene pathway: transcriptome analysis reveals key genes involved.

Plant roots are constantly prepared to adjust their growth trajectories to avoid unfavorable environments, and their ability to reorient is particularly crucial for survival. Under laboratory conditions, this continuous reorientation of the root tip is manifested as coiling or waving, which we refer to as root circumnutation. However, the effect of ambient temperature (AT) on root circumnutation remains unexplored.

Cassava breeding faces obstacles due to late flowering and poor flower and seed set. The acceleration of breeding processes and the reduction in each cycle's duration hinge upon efficiently conducting crosses to yield ample progeny for subsequent cycles. Our primary objective was to identify methods that provide tools for cassava breeding programs, enabling them to consistently and rapidly generate offspring from a wide array of genotypes.
