Increasing the Vase Life of Chrysanthemum Cut Flowers by Using Silver and Zinc Nanoparticles.

Cut flowers are horticultural products that have great potential to be developed. Efforts to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of cut flowers are very important to obtain a product that is accepted in the market. The main problems of chrysanthemum cut flowers are the leaves easily turning yellow, wilting, and failure to fully open flowers.

Environmental impact assessment of vegetable production in West Java, Indonesia.

Indonesia is one of the world's economies contributing the most to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the global food system. This study aimed to quantify the environmental impacts of Indonesian vegetable production and the relative contribution of different farm inputs. Data were collected from 322 vegetable farms in the Lembang sub-district in West Java.

Climatic changes and potatoes: How can we cope with the abiotic stresses?

Climate change triggers increases in temperature, drought, and/or salinity that threaten potato production, because they necessitate specific amounts and quality of water, meanwhile lower temperatures generally support stable crop yields. Various cultivation techniques have been developed to reduce the negative effects of drought, heat and/or salinity stresses on potato. Developing innovative varieties with relevant tolerance to abiotic stress is absolutely necessary to guarantee competitive production under sub-optimal environments.

Dataset on volatile compounds in susceptible and resistant chili variety to fruit fly infestation.

This data article describes the analysis of volatile compounds in susceptible and resistant chili variety via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The volatile compounds from two chili varieties which have different level of resistance to fruit fly infestation were captured by a solid-phase micro extraction method. The obtained extracts were then subjected to GC-MS for separation and identification of the compounds in three developmental stages (buds, flowers and fruits).
