“…Single, semi-double, and double flower types are genetically controlled by a single gene or many genes, and induced mutagenesis can easily produce mutants with altered observable features such as flower forms, size, or leaf form and growth habit. Only roses and carnations have been commercialised as floral crops (Chavan et al, 2019). An experiment was conducted for induction of mutation in chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum Tzvelev.)…”

Floriculture is a remunerative and highly competitive industry. In India, floriculture is emerging as an important economic activity and foreign exchange earner. The advances in Indian floriculture sector have been brought about by the application of various technologies like vertical gardening, aeroponics, hydroponics, plasticulture, etc. The North Eastern region of the country has for long been recognized as nature's gift to the country in view of the wealth of ornamental plants. High value flower production in protected poly and green houses are being encouraged for entrepreneurial development in the region. Current study reveals the research works and projects executed by the institutes and development centres that have led to the overall floriculture development in the region thus exploiting its potentiality.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
