Enhancing Flower Color Diversity in Chrysanthemum cv. “Candid” through Ethyl Methane Sulfonate Mutagenesis: A Promising Approach for Ornamental Crop Improvement

ACS Agricultural Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 3(11), P. 1004 - 1013

Published: Oct. 11, 2023

Mutation breeding, a well-established method for crop improvement, has played pivotal role in creating wide range of novel blossom colors and forming mutant cultivars ornamental plants. In this study, we investigated the influence ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) on vitro cultured shoots Chrysanthemum cv. “Candid”. The were treated with EMS doses 0.50, 0.75, 1.00% 1 h 45 min, while untreated used as controls. Our findings revealed consistent increasing trend all observed parameters successive increase (0.50 to 1.00%). Mortality rates recorded at end first second week intervals, yielding LD50 values 0.55 0.59% EMS, respectively. Proliferation percentage, number per plant, shoot length, rhizogenesis exhibited an rising from 0.50 1.00%.

Shattering the glass ceiling for women in gardening and landscaping: a mini-review

Frontiers in Horticulture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3

Published: March 19, 2024

The history of gardening and landscaping has historically been a male monopoly, until the 20th century, women could not get anywhere near career in these fields. This brief review focuses on some who paved way Europe USA. It also attempts to tell lesser-known stories, focusing those turned landscaping, subjects that have much less explored floriculture. does claim be exhaustive, although it attempt draw attention historical period between Victorian age present day. Women’s significant contributions range from dissemination teaching, research, education, association popularization landscaping. In this paper, we briefly discuss, 21st men may similarities education work experience, but do lead comparable careers or positions academic departments. Some scientific studies an impact design sustainable management green spaces linked ecosystem services are considered. Finally, contribution landscape architecture is examined.

Morphological, Histological and Genetic Evaluation of Gamma Radiation-Induced Mutation and Its Potential Application in Rudbeckia hirta (L.)

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(6), P. 1292 - 1292

Published: June 14, 2024

Many cultivars of annual ornamental horticulture have great phenotypic qualities but are less tolerant to the effects current climate change and urbanization. A good example this in Hungarian breeding is Rudbeckia hirta cultivar “Őszifény”. The objective study was determine whether gamma mutation (using 5 Gy, 10 30 Gy doses) can be employed enhance genetic variability create mutants with novel trait values. Furthermore, it important ascertain altered traits proportionate observed changes phenotype. As an original innovative aspect research, will assist establishing appropriate dose rates for species. Changes induced by radiation been mapped using morphological, histological, methods. resulted plants most favorable characteristics, including significant increases branching flower number. Additionally, phenomenon hormesis observed. Beyond these, also had a effect because many flowers bushy habits, making them suitable use as potted plants. heterogeneous stand showed greatest variation. These results may contribute future work pave way further urban application R. light

Exploring non-price factors shaping supply response: insights from Cameroon's banana and pineapple horticultural industries

Frontiers in Environmental Economics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3

Published: July 2, 2024

Horticulture has the potential to meet development agenda of agrarian economies, like that Cameroon, through cultivation high-value fruits and vegetables. Bananas pineapples are two widely grown in Cameroon for income, employment, foreign earnings. remains an important global player banana trade. To boost production, identifying factors drive supply response such crops is policy question. Here, we ask if non-price determinants horticultural crops, a question received very little attention. The objective this study thus estimate effect on bananas pineapples. do this, Nerlovian function directly estimated via Error correction model using time series data, capture long-run dynamics production supply. results show as rainfall, temperature, land major drivers both crops. effects these factors, however, vary with We provide plausible explanations why salient. Our suggest improving timely availability weather climate information, input subsidies possible areas interventions.
