the present study has assessed the effect of cola in increasing flower longevity of flower and delaying aging of cut alstroemeria ‘balance’. distilled water was used as control. traits of flower diameter, solution absorption ,anthocyanins, total soluble solids and chlorophyll were measured at 3 times and vase life was measured daily. based on the results, flower diameter, anthocyanins and chlor...

We investigated the role of nano-silver (NAg) and the bacterial strain Enterobacter cloacae in increasing the vase life of cut carnation flowers 'Omea.' NAg treatment extended vase life of the flowers by increasing relative fresh weight, antioxidant activities, and expression level of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor gene (DcCPi), and by suppressing bacterial blockage in stem segments, ethylen...

The aim of this study is investigation on effect of stem end splitting and Geranium essential oil on vase life on quality of cut chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum L.). This experiment arranged as factorial based on RCD with 2 factors of stem end splitting at 2 levels (with splitting and without splitting) and Geranium essential oil at 6 levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 %), with 12 treatments...

The present research was conducted to discover antimicrobial compounds in methanolic leaf extracts of Jatropha curcas and Andrographis paniculata and ethanolic leaf extract of Psidium guajava and the effectiveness against microbes on flower preservative solution of cut Mokara Red orchid flowers was evaluated. The leaves were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of nine, ...

the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut narcissus was studied. sa (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and put (0, 150 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 108 narcissus cut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad university, jiro...

Effect of salicylic acid combined with glutamin on rose (Rosa Baccara) cut flowers was studied. The study was conducted in a factorial arrangement, carried out in a complete randomized design. The factors were Salicylic acid (0,1, 2 and 4 mM) and glutamin (0, 1.5 and 3 mM).The effects of treatments on the total chlorophyll content, ACC-Oxidase activity, anthocyanin leakage, membrane stability a...

lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘mriachii blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. however, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of lisianthus. for this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...

in this study, gerbera ( cv. alain ducasse ) cut flowers were treated with essences of eucalyptus and rosa damascena at a concentration of 200 mg l -1 and their effects on the vase life of flowers and some qualitative characteristics were evaluated. this research was a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement. maximum vase life was obtained for flowers treated with the eucalyptus...
