The respiration of cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) increased exponentially with increasing respiration, with a Q10 value between 0 and 10°C of 3 for both flowers. The vase life of the flowers was negatively affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures whereas dry storage for 5 days at 0°C resulted in a vase li...

Whole-plant photosynthetic rate of rose (cv. Kardinal) was measured with an open system consisting of a computer-controlled data acquisition system and an infrared gas analyzer (IRGA). The system was used to monitor diurnal patterns of whole-plant gas exchange in response to environmental variables and a model to simulate this was constructed. A model for leaf photosynthesis was calibrated and ...
