BLADE‐ON‐PETIOLE Genes Enable Genetic Bottleneck Mitigation Through Cross‐Species Repurposing of Floral Persistence Traits [PDF]
Advanced ScienceContinuous floral persistence caused by impaired petal abscission and senescence is generally detrimental in crops but beneficial in ornamental species, highlighting the species‐specific nature of breeding objectives.

Floral Resource Integration: Enhancing Biocontrol of Tuta absoluta Within Sustainable IPM Frameworks [PDF]
PlantsThe tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, is a pest threatening global tomato production. This pest’s adaptability and resistance to chemical insecticides have necessitated integrated pest management (IPM) strategies prioritizing sustainable alternatives ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 The relationship between floral longevity and the chemical elements that support plant survival, growth and reproduction remains unclear. Here, we used 12 Paphiopedilum (Cypripedioideae, Orchidaceae) species with long-lived flowers to investigate the ...

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022 Floral senescence or petal abscission that determine cut flower quality and longevity are primarily caused by the regulation of endogenous ethylene and perception of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in floral organs (such as the petals and gynoecium ...

Genetics of Floral Longevity in Petunia [PDF]
HortScience, 1999 Petunia hybrida Vilm. is one of the major bedding plants grown worldwide, and, like most bedding plants, is grown primarily for its seasonal floral display. While increased floral and reflowering capacity have been the focus of breeding programs for many ornamental species, floral longevity has received little ...

Mediterranean Botany, 2023 Floral longevity is a selected trait that shows plasticity, allowing plants to balance resource allocation and reproduction. In dichogamous flowers—in which female and male functions are decoupled in time—the duration of the female phase is expected to ...

052 GENETICS OF FLORAL LONGEVITY IN PETUNIA [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Ornamental plant breeding has focused almost exclusively on floral prolificacy rather than floral longevity. The importance of floral longevity is obvious in any ornamental crop grown primarily for floral display. This study was undertaken to determine the genetic basis of floral longevity in an important ornamental crop, petunia.

Large flowers can be short‐lived: Insights from a high Andean cactus
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Long‐lived and large flowers signify high floral maintenance costs. Species of arid/semiarid climates with large flowers are expected to have short flower life spans and pollination‐induced flower longevity in order to curb high floral water and other ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Flower longevity plays an important role in pollen dispersal and reproductive success in plants. In dichogamous plants, the duration of anthesis as well as the time allocated to male and female functions can vary in response to intrinsic ...
