Single. The concentrations of citric acid at 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1, sucrose at 3% and 4% and H2O2 at 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% were used as preservatives, while distilled water was used as control. The single factor experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Citric acid and H2O2 solutions effectively inhibited bacterial growth-related blockage in the vascular tissues, but had adverse effects on the vase life. The inflorescences stored in sucrose (3% and 4%) solutions remained fresh up to 10 days after preservation (DAP), maintaining good solution uptake, controlling transpiration loss and gaining higher relative fresh weight. Different quality parameters like floret diameter and number of opened florets were also significantly higher in inflorescences preserved in sucrose (3% and 4%) solution, followed by control, citric acid and H2O2, respectively, in different DAP. Overall, the inflorescence of cut tuberose preserved in sucrose, particularly at 4% solutions, showed better postharvest quality than other preservatives and maximum vase life.}, number={3}, journal={Ornamental Horticulture}, publisher={FapUNIFESP (SciELO)}, author={Paul, Debasish and Jannat, Afifatuj and Mahmud, Abdullah al and Akhter, Mosa Jerin and Mahmood, Shreef}, year={2021}, month={Sep}, pages={417–424} } @article{hossain_paul_ali_huda_alam_mahmood_hamooh_2020, title={The Perspectives of Medicinal Plants for COVID-19 Treatment: A Review}, url={https://zenodo.org/record/4250485}, DOI={10.5281/zenodo.4250485}, abstractNote={The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID–19 as a pandemic disease due to its rapid spreading worldwide, caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that has brought about many fatalities. Until now, no effective treatment in the form of anti-virus medication or vaccine has been available for the disease. Therefore, this review aimed to identify some important medicinal plants with herbal formulae and guidelines which are used to treat viral diseases especially pandemic COVID-19 disease. Based on this argument, an online search was performed, which assisted to identify a group of plant species harboring antiviral properties. In the recent past, some natural herbal compounds prepared from existing medicinal plants available surrounding us have demonstrated encouraging antiviral properties. This review can be used as guidance of traditional medicine for the alternative treatment of COVID-19 disease with the utilization of medicinal plants.}, journal={Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)}, publisher={Zenodo}, author={Hossain, Md.
