Garden roses, known as Rosa × hybrida, hold a prominent position one of the most important and economically valuable plants in horticulture. Additionally, their products—essential oil, rose water, concrete, concentrate—find extensive use cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food industries, due to specific fragrances potential health benefits. Rose flowers are rich biologically active compounds, such phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids. This study aims investigate five new garden genotypes...

Numerous concerns associated with the use of synthetic pesticides have led to important initiatives aimed at ensuring eco-friendly practices in pest and disease control. Third-generation pesticides, biopesticides, become a key factor those efforts, capturing attention researchers worldwide. To evaluate trends biopesticide research over past three decades, bibliometric analysis was performed on bibliographic data sourced from Web Science database. This included metrics such as publication...

The critical role of energy in contemporary life and the environmental challenges associated with its production imply need for research exploration novel resources. present review paper emphasizes continuous exploitation non-renewable sources, suggesting transition toward renewable termed ‘green energy’, as a crucial step sustainable development. methodology involves comprehensive articles, statistical data analysis, examination databases. main focus is biomass, valuable resource bioenergy...

With the aim of being a part global change and providing an example to other researchers throughout world, this paper details how breeding goals horticultural plants their application have shifted in Novi Sad (Serbia) last 10–15 years. Contemporary cities/citizens strive incorporate nature into all important life segments activities, thus requiring interdisciplinary approach solving challenges that 21st century brings. Early research was focused on basic genetic, physiological, biochemical...

Urban horticulture represents a sustainable way of dealing with the challenges modern cities, including urbanization processes, population growth tendencies, lack green areas, environmental pollution and food insecurity. This study aimed to (1) investigate perceptions citizens Novi Sad municipality, Republic Serbia, toward urban (2) assess plant materials appropriate for cultivation in gardens suggest spaces completely designed use various forms edible fruit species, roses. The same...

Ornamental plant breeding enables the selection of cultivars with desired features from numerous genotypes; however, this process is time-consuming and resource-demanding. Aiming to establish a pre-selection protocol that can facilitate dwarf rose varieties, connection between anatomical histological characteristics vegetative growth was examined. To assess adaptive potential studied cultivars, intra-annual cambial dynamics were explored relative observed meteorological fluctuations during...

Climate change increasingly impacts urban dendroflora, affecting plant physiology and phenological phases. This paper investigates the impact of changing climatic conditions on blooming Fraxinus ornus ‘Globosa’, a decorative form ash that is significant component green infrastructure in Novi Sad, Serbia. The research, conducted over 15 years 42 individuals linear planting near large river, analyzed temperature precipitation effects times inflorescence characteristics results indicate changes...

The woolly apple aphid—WAA (Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann, 1802) poses a significant threat to intensive production. Given the limitations of conventional synthetic pesticides, there is an urgent need for effective and sustainable pest management strategies. Botanical extracts derived from plants with insecticidal properties mitigating aphid populations without adverse environmental impacts are scarce where WAA concerned. Thus, pertinent study aimed investigate aphicidal potential Koelreuteria...

With pronounced morphological and phenological diversity, garden roses have always been part of urban plantings. The significance in ornamental utilitarian (edible) horticulture can significantly be amended with novel ecosystem services, by shifting their breeding targets towards more than aesthetic nutritional value. Thus the aim this paper was to investigate possibilities newly bred (within past decade) from ‘Mella’ series as a possible ornamental, disease tolerant bee attracting cultivars...

Sustainability of fruit production is becoming a necessity in the time climate changes and severe environmental issues, including decreasing water availability biodiversity loss. To overcome these difficulties sweet cherry production, we aimed to investigate autochthonous germplasm as source adaptable, size-controlling productive rootstocks. The performance cultivar ‘Summit’ grafted on six rootstock candidates ‘Gisela 5’ control has been assessed semi-arid climate, conditions without...

The general aim of this research was to determine whether the cherry root cambium possesses similar water-stress adaptation abilities as scion. Specifically, study aimed there is a shift in xylem structure due precipitation fluctuations and temperature increase during growing season two species. Oblačinska sour European ground roots with secondary were anatomically surveyed detail, correlated meteorological conditions occurring vegetation when formed. Under environmental signals, both...

Over the past few decades, numerous studies investigated vigor and productivity of fruit species depending on rootstock which they were grafted, but exact size-controlling mechanism itself has not been fully elucidated, nor rapid selection methods defined. Thus, this study aimed to assess root anatomical characteristics their influence overall ‘Summit’ cherry tree confirm effect establish an effective protocol for selection. Plant material included three (Prunus cerasus, Prunus fruticosa,...

The genus Morus L., mulberry, is an interesting taxonomic group on account of its existing genetic variability, functional food potential and commercial importance. Mulberry trees are found in a wide range areas Serbia, accounting for large phenotypic diversity resources. Tree fruit characteristics more than 300 mulberry specimens were surveyed, 15 genotypes alba, nigra rubra species selected further analyses. These located at various sites the province Vojvodina, Serbia. present study was...

Summary Ophrys sphegodes Mill. is a wild orchid species which threatened and protected due to its pollination biology, small seed habitat destruction. The aim of this study was establish asymbiotic germination protocol for the purpose ex situ conservation. Two basal media Knudson C (KC) Malmgren (MM), supplemented with organic additives (peptone (PE), L-glutamin (A)e, folic acid, casein hydrolysate (CA)) added separately control KC--C MM--C were used in present research. All nutrition...

Abstract Severe climate alterations that seriously challenge fruit production, combined with the demand for healthy, pesticide-free fruits, continuously direct rootstock/cultivar selection towards high adaptable varieties breeding. This study aimed to investigate rootstocks’ influence on performance of grafted ‘Summit’ cherry trees, including potentially dwarfing Prunus cerasus , fruticosa and mahaleb rootstock candidates. Anatomical properties scion stems were investigated determine...
