Subject:
soil temperature regimes; deciduous forests; canopy; snowmelt; soil temperature; nitrogen; air temperature; Crocus; light intensity; starch; spring; air; corms; hills; leaves
Abstract:
... Spring ephemerals of deciduous forests appear shortly after snow melt and senesce shortly after the overstorey canopy has closed. During this short period, they take advantage of the high light conditions, but also of the low-temperature regime that favours growth in these species. This better growth at cooler temperatures has been attributed to longer leaf life duration. The objective of this stu ...

chemical composition; crop quality; flowering; soil water content; chemical constituents of plants; medicinal properties; air temperature; phenology; plant density; crop yield; Crocus sativus; stigma; corms; rain; provenance; esters; saffron; climatic factors
Abstract:
... Saffron is well known for its use as a condiment spice, as a dye and traditional medicine. Saffron is experiencing an increasing interest mainly due to its peculiar and manifold properties of the metabolic pool of its stigmas, mainly crocetin esters and picrocrocin. This species is cultivated in environments with very different climatic conditions and with very different corm rates from place to p ...

Crocus sativus; air temperature; corms; cyclohexenes; fertilizer rates; flowers; greenhouse production; harvest date; horticultural crops; leaves; nitrogen; saffron; soil temperature; solid phase microextraction; sowing; stigma; volatile compounds
Abstract:
... In order to evaluate the possibility of introducing saffron into a greenhouse crop cycle, in 2013-2014 the present trial was carried out in a greenhouse traditionally devoted to horticultural crops. Two treatments were studied: corm dimensions (greater and smaller than 3.0 cm) and fertilization (not fertilized and fertilized with 45 kg ha-1 of nitrogen). A late sowing (September 28) was adopted. S ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Crocus sativus L. is an autumn‐flowering geophyte belonging to the Iridaceae family, known for the medicinal and coloring uses of the spice from its dried stigmas. It is cultivated in countries with different pedoclimatic conditions. This paper reports on a two‐year research project carried out in the Basilicata region of southern Italy on the question of how to obtain the highest perf ...

Abstract:
... Drying, an important but energy‐intensive unit operation, is necessary to ensure that perishable food produce is preserved for diverse industrial uses. Hence, modeling and optimizing this unit operation is vital. This study was carried out with the view of modeling and optimizing the thin‐layer drying of pretreated taro corm slices using three‐level factorial design of response surface methodology ...

Abstract:
... Hydroponics is a promising method for cultivation of saffron (Crocus sativus). In this study, saffron corms were sprouted using a gradual decrease in air temperature, and they were cultivated hydroponically in either perlite or volcanic rock for 24 weeks. A nutrient solution was supplied using either an ebb-and-flow system or continuous immersion. First blooming was observed 29 days after transpla ...

Erythronium americanum; air; air temperature; canopy; climate; corms; death; frost; gardens; leaves
Abstract:
... Changes in climate are leading to modifications in the timing of seasonal events such as migrations and flowering. Erythronium americanum Ker Gawl. (trout lily) can break bud early in response to warming, but changes to its growing season may be limited by early shade from canopy trees and frost. I experimentally assessed the impact of shade and frost on senescence in E. americanum and descriptive ...
