Leaf yellowing or petal senescence is the main postharvest disorder for many cut flowers. Plant hormones such as cytokinins are able to inhibit leaf yellowing in some cut flowers and potted plants. In our experiments, we applied thidiazuron aiming to delay leaf yellowing and 1-methylciclopropene (1-MCP) for inhibiting flower senescence of cut stock flowers during vase life. Cut flowers were pul...

in this study, effect of different concentration of ascorbic acid (asa, 0, 2, 4 and 6 mm) on delaying senescence in cut rose flowers cv. royall class was investigated based on factorial design. the results showed that the greatest delay in senescence was obtained with 4 mm asa as compared to control (distilled water). therefore, fresh weight and diameter of flowers treated with 4 mm asa was mor...

abstract reduction of post harvest losses in cut flowers and increasing their vase life, with consideration to high expenses of production is very necessary. one of the effective factors is presence of flowers near each other. this study was performed to investigate the interaction of some important cut flowers on their post harvest characteristics in vase solution (in combination or alone) in ...

in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...
