The main goal of study "Prunus microcarpa: a potential rootstock for apricots" was to identify new dwarfing rootstocks for apricots that limit apricot tree height and size, without altering scion production or fruit characteristics. In this study, ‘Hacıhaliloğlu’, ‘Hasanbey’, ‘Kabaaşı’, and ‘Roxana’ apricot cultivars grafted on Prunus microcarpa — a potential rootstock for apricot — were investigated. Phenological, morphological, yield, and quality traits of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars grafted on Prunus microcarpa seedlings and apricot (P.

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) belongs to the family Brassicaceae, and is an economically important root crop grown worldwide. Flowering is necessary for plant propagation, but it is also an important agronomic trait influencing R. sativus fleshy taproot yield and quality in the case of an imbalance between vegetative and reproductive growth. There is currently a lack of detailed information regarding the pathways regulating the flowering genes or their evolution in R. sativus. The release of the R.

Spinach is a beneficial annual vegetable species and sensitive to the bolting or early flowering, which causes a large reduction in quality and productivity. Indeed, bolting is an event induced by the coordinated effects of various environmental factors and endogenous genetic components. Although some key flowering responsive genes have been identified in spinach, non-coding RNA molecules like long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were not investigated yet.

Bolting refers to the early flowering stem production on agricultural and horticultural crops before harvesting. Indeed, bolting is an event induced by the coordinated effects of various environmental factors and endogenous genetic components, which cause a large reduction in the quality and productivity of vegetable crops like spinach.

Flowers are regarded as a symbol of love, beauty and a gift of nature. Flowers are used by us to provoke the feelings of love and happiness because they have the power to make people happy and cheerful. A study was carried out to review on effect of pinching on flower crop. The number of experiments reviewed that pinching after 4 to 6 week after transplanting gives number of leaves, number of primary branches, plant spread, maximum number of flowers, number of seeds per flower, test weight and seed yield per ha with better seed quality parameters.

The study was carried out to observe the effect of post harvest application of sucrose on extension of vase life of cut rose cv. Tajmahal. The data was recorded on the physical and physiological parameters on every alternate day. The flowers were held in different concentrations of sucrose solutions with flowers harvested at two stages i.e. tight bud stage and first petal unfurl stage.

One of the commercially exploited flower crops belonging to the asteraceae family is Marigold. In many states, the commercial extraction of marigold carotenoids is currently becoming popular in our country. Proper crop management techniques are needed to produce cost-effective yields and improve the quality of marigold flowers. Number of harvestings manifest that the harvestings were not far from each other. The average number of harvestings resulted as non-significant.

In India, oilseed Brassica are grown over an area of about 6.3 million hectares with an annual production of 7.92 million tones with an average yield of 1304 kg/ha whereas in Rajasthan it was still 1422kg/ha. The severe attack of many diseases not only deteriorates the quality of the seed, but also reduces the oil content considerably. Among the diseases, white rust caused by Albugo candida (Pers. Ex Hook) O. Kuntze, is an important disease of a wide variety of Brassica crops. Its infection causes disfiguring white pustules on leaves, flowers stems and pod leading to yield losses.
