What is/are the precise biochemical parameter/s typically or specifically considered as a flowering biochemical marker in bulbous cut flowers?
Dear Mehdi,
You can measure some enzyme and gene that are involved in Flowering induction and development,
Best regards,
Thank you Mohammadreza,
But I want to Know what enzymes or metabolites involve in flowering induction in bulbous plants.
Dear Mehdi,
Salam,
Measuring the levels of plant hormones such as gibberline, ABA and cytokinin(CK) could be useful for determination of flower induction time. Usually, The level of gibberlines (specially GA7) is reduced during flower induction and the levels of ABA and CK is increased. Also, in some plants polyamines have a high level during flower induction. The levels of sucrose could be suitable as a marker for flower induction. Moreover the levels of RNA is increased during flower induction. You can extract RNA and determine the concentration of it. there are many genes that are involved in flower induction that is different in the plants. I have attached two papers for you that i think these paper could be very useful for you.
Wishing you the best
