this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of 1-mcp and ethylene on extending the display quality and increasing vase life of cut carnation flowers in a completely randomized design with three replicationsat the laboratory of the postharvest physiology, tarbiat modares universityin 2014. first, cut flowers were treated with 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 µl l-1 of 1-mcp for 24 h and then exposed to...

Temperature, an environmental factor affecting cut flowers' physiological state, is expected to affect scent emission. We investigated emission from carnation flowers of two types (Dianthus caryophyllus L.), exhibiting fruity (because methyl benzoate) and spicy eugenol) scents, at various temperatures (10°C, 15°C, 23°C, 28°C). Cut harvested on the day flower opening were used for analysis. Scen...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of different concentrations of silver thiosulfate (sts) (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mm), sucrose (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 %), humic acid (100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 ppm) and banzyl adenine (5, 10, 20 and 40 ppm) on vaselife of cut ‘tempo’ carnation flowers. the experiment was arranged in a compeletly randomized design. the results of means comparison indi...
