Aromatic Tagetesplants produce secondary products which have a biological activity against a wide range of micro-organisms, insects and nematodes. Tagetes oils are also used as pharmaceuticals and as flavour components in the food industry. This study aimed to use somaclonal variation to select
By the methods of principal component analysis, subordinate function, and cluster analysis, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted on the drought-resistance of 16 physiological indices of nine marigold cultivars. Under drought stress, the 16 physiological indices had different responses, among
Irrigation with saline water causes significant crop yield loss. However, short-term saline application might cause less negative effects on yield yet at the same time improve quality aspects of edible products. Tagetes (Tagetespatula L.) plants were subjected to salinity (0, 50, and 100 mM
A study was conducted to characterize marigold stress response to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (oxidative stress inducers) with and without sulfuric acid (S.Acid; pH 3) (acid-stress inducer), and to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity of mannitol (Mann). Marigold
Drought tolerance was evaluated in twelve cultivars of three ornamental Tagetes species (T. patula, T. tenuifolia and T. erecta). A stress treatment was performed by completely stopping watering of plants maintained in controlled greenhouse conditions. After three weeks, several plant growth
