Global warming leads to increasing irregular and unexpected warm spells during autumn, and therefore natural chilling requirements to break dormancy are at risk. Controlled cold treatment can provide an answer to this problem. Nevertheless, artificial cold treatment will have consequences for carbon
OBJECTIVE
To explore and identify the most potent antihyperglycemic fraction from the ethanol extract of Rhododendron arboreum (R. arboreum) flowers.
METHODS
Normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were treated with all four fractions of R. arboreum flowers for short term and with fraction 3
Flower bud dormancy in azalea (Rhododendron simsii) is broken by artificial cold treatment and this will have its consequences on carbon reserves and photosynthesis. The effect of cold storage at 7 °C on carbohydrate and starch content in leaves and flower buds of an early ('Nordlicht') and
To gain a better understanding of cold acclimation in rhododendron and in woody perennials in general, we used the 2D-DIGE technique to analyze the rhododendron proteome during the seasonal development of freezing tolerance. We selected two species varying in their cold acclimation ability as well
Within a systematic phytochemical investigation of the leaves of RHODODENDRON FERRUGINEUM L. (Ericaceae), the volatile oil was isolated (0.7 %) and its constituents were characterized. Eleven flavonoids were isolated and characterized, with quercetin 3- O-[6''- O-(2-methyl-1-oxobutyl)]-β-
Reliance on carbohydrates during flower forcing was investigated in one early and one late flowering cultivar of azalea (Rhododendron simsii hybrids). Carbohydrate accumulation, invertase activity, and expression of a purported sucrose synthase gene (RsSUS) was monitored during flower forcing under
