alstromeria is a new cut flower in iran that due to the high performance, long life, and pretty flowers and colors diversity is highly regarded. premature yellowing of leaves in cut flowersalstromeria before petal fall is the most important factor limiting the vase life of flowers. to delay leaf yellowing and increased quality, factorial experiment based on completely randomized design carried ...

In this research, the effects of thidiazuron pulse treatment and salicylic acid were examined to improve vase life and maintain the quality of Alstroemeria ҅Modena҆ cut flowers. The experiment was done in a factorial experiment based on RCD with 16 treatments, 3 replications and 48 plots. The flowers were placed in different concentrations of thidiazuron (0, 10, 20, and 50 μM) and salicylic acid ...

To better understand the molecular mechanisms related to growth promotion in the early developmental stages of Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn. under end-of-day far-red light (EOD-FR) treatment, we analyzed the leaf transcriptome of treated (EOD) and untreated plants (Cont) by using RNA-seq technology. EOD-FR treatment for only about 2 weeks in regions with limited sunshine during winter resu...

The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of catechol (CH), as a peroxidase inhibitor, and 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (HQC), as a bacterial inhibitor, on keeping the quality of Gerbera Jamesonii cv. Hongyan cut flowers, known to be limited by vascular occlusion. Blockage in the stem xylem vessels of cut gerbera was studied using light and scanning electron microscope. The results showed th...

rose (rosa hybrida l.) is one of the mostly cultivated cut flowers in iran and around the world. the study was carried out to increase the vase life and quality of cut rose ‘grand prix` and ‘avallanche` by using various floral preservative solutions. floral preservative solutions were agno3, 8-hqs, nano silver and distilled water. treatments were compared with tap water as control. the experime...

Enrichment of zeolite and sponge as ethylene absorbent with potassium permanganate was theidea of this study to provide an efficient way to scavenge ethylene during storage period ofthree Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Shiraz’, ‘Avalanche’, and ‘After-party’ cut flowers. A preliminaryexperiment revealed that two mL of potassium permanganate solution (1 mM) was enough toenrich two gra...

the effect of some treatments including preserving solution (20g l-1 sucrose plus 200 ppm 8-hqs), ba and tdz (pulse or spray) with preserving solution were evaluated on senescence parameters and vase life of rose cut flowers cv. red gant. preserving solution, applying 25 mm ba with preserving solution increased solution absorbance, and prevented the cut flowers from getting decreased in relativ...

Gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and Iran. One of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. Producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. With the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera Goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-...
