tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is an important commercial cut flower that has a short vase life. an experiment was carried out by using five different levels of humic acid (ha) (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg l-1) and seven different levels of silver nano-particles (snp) (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg l-1) mixed with 1.5% sucrose on cut tuberosa cv. single flower. the loss of fresh weight on third ...

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...

gladiolus is one of the flowers that used on cut flower and garden plants. an experiment was conducted to study the effects of chemical treatments on the vase life of gladiolus cut flower cv. ‘rose supreme’ with ten chemical treatment using complete randomize design with 3 replications. gladiolus cut flower was harvested when the 2-3 lowest bud had start showing color then cut flower were treat...

in this study, the concentrations of 25, 375 and 500 ml l -1 of cola+ 2000 mg l -1 of peppermint essence and concentrations of 30, 45 and 60 ml l -1 of apple extract +2000 mg l -1 rosemary essence on alstroemeria cut flowers (cv. balance) were investigated to verify the use of natural ingredients in flowers preservative solutions. this experiment was conducted in the laboratory of gorgan univer...

the close to impossible correct controlling of the temperature and light intensity is the main limiting factors of growing plants in the plastic covered greenhouses. quality and vase life of cut flowers are mostly influenced by greenhouse temperature. alstroemeria needs cold temperature for growth and flowering. in the current study, the such changes in vase life and flower quality as stem leng...

We investigated the effects of sucrose and nano-silver (NAg) on extending the vase life of cut carnation flowers "Edun". Sucrose (pulse treatment) suppressed ethylene production by downregulating the genes that code for its biosynthesis. Relative to the control, however, sucrose significantly promoted xylem blockage on cut stem surfaces and reduced relative fresh weight, antioxidant activity, a...

gerbera cut flowers is one of the important and popular cut flowers in the world that regardless of increasing production of this plant in iran, the duration of its life is short due to rapid wilting petals and bending neck of flower. to increase vase life of gerbera cut flowers cv. ‘alain ducasse’, the essences of eucalyptus and rosa damascena, the combination of these two essences at a concen...

Gerbera(Gerbera jamesonii) from the family of Asteraceae is regarded as one of the best cut flowers in the world. Despite of the publicity of Gerbera’s cut flowers, they have a short postharvest life. The objective of the present study was to study the replacement feasibility and the comparison of thymol (isolated from zataria), and essential oils of peppermint and rosemary (200, 400 and 600 mg...
