Overexpression of Rice BSR2 Confers Disease Resistance and Induces Enlarged Flowers in Torenia fournieri Lind
Plant pathogens evade basal defense systems and attack different organs and tissues of plants. Genetic engineering of plants with genes that confer resistance against pathogens is very effective in pathogen control. Conventional breeding for disease resistance in ornamental crops is difficult and lagging relative to that in non-ornamental crops due...
Why Black Flowers? An Extreme Environment and Molecular Perspective of Black Color Accumulation in the Ornamental and Fo...
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Pollinators are attracted to vibrant flower colors. That is why flower color is the key agent to allow successful fruit set in food or ornamental crops. However, black flower color is the least attractive to pollinators, although a number of plant species produce black flowers. Cyanidin-based anthocyanins are thought to be the key agents to induce ...
Flowering Mechanisms and Environmental Stimuli for Flower Transition: Bases for Production Scheduling in Greenhouse Flor...
The scheduling of plant production is a critical aspect in modern floriculture since nowadays, sales are not oriented toward the recurring holidays as in the past, but always more toward impulse buying, implying a more diverse and constant demand on the market. This requires continuous production, often regulated by precise commercial agreements be...

Transferability of ISSR, SCoT and SSR Markers for Chrysanthemum × Morifolium Ramat and Genetic Relationships Among Comme...
Characterization of genetic diversity in germplasm collections requires an efficient set of molecular markers. We assessed the efficiency of 36 new SCoT markers, 10 new ISSR markers, and 5 microsatellites for the characterization of genetic diversity in chrysanthemum core collection of 95 accessions (Russian and foreign cultivars). Seven new SCoT (...
Distribution and Genetic Variability of Bemisia tabaci Cryptic Species (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Italy
Bemisia tabaci is a key pest of horticultural, fibre and ornamental crops worldwide, primarily as a vector of plant viruses. In Italy, B. tabaci has established since the 1980s–1990s in southern regions as well as in Sicily and Sardinia. Recent reports of infestations in some areas of central Italy prompted a new survey to assess the whitefly distr...
Geïntegreerde bestrijding van plagen in de sierteelt onder glas : een systeembenadering met preventieve biologische best...
De bestrijding van plagen zoals in de sierteelt onder glas wordt met het smaller wordende pakket van chemische gewasbeschermingsmiddelen steeds lastiger. Alternatieve manieren van bestrijding met biologische middelen of natuurlijke vijanden biedt perspectief, maar is vaak nog onvoldoende robuust en betrouwbaar. In dit onderzoek is daarom gekeken na...
Sierteelt in de biobased economy : Screening van siergewasextracten op werking voor de plantgezondheid en de farmacie : ...
In het kader van de Topsector Tuinbouw & Uitgangsmaterialen PPS “Sierteelt in de Biobased Economy”, hebben Royal FloraHolland, Kenniscentrum Plantenstoffen, Wageningen UR Glastuinbouw, Wageningen UR Bioscience, Fytagoras en Prisna onderzoek gedaan naar de perspectieven van plantenextracten en -stoffen uit siergewassen als gewasbeschermingsmiddel, a...
Compostering reststromen van Vaste Planten- en Zomerbloementelers
Elk teeltbedrijf van Vaste Planten en Zomerbloemen heeft een reststroom van plantaardig materiaal. Deze reststroom wordt nu meestal als afval afgevoerd. Hiermee verdwijnen kostbare nutriënten en organische stoffen van het bedrijf, die later in de vorm van compost en (kunst)mest weer moeten worden aangevoerd. In dit project is de mogelijkheid van he...
