in order to study the effects of silver thiosulfate (0.02, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mm), humic acid (100, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), nano silver (5, 10, 25 mg l-1), salisilicacid (1, 2 and 4 mm) and sucrose (1%, 2.5% and 5%) on the vase life and some qualitative characteristics of cut narcissus var duch master floweres, two expriments were counducted in postharvest laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili universi...

Alstroemeria (Alstroemeria hybrida) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. The aim of this study is investigating on the effect of dill and cumin essential oils on physiological and microbiological traits of alstroemeria cut flowers. Hydro-distillation method and GC isolated the essential oils of seed and GC/MS examined the chemical compositions of the samples. This exp...

abstract one of the most important cut foliage plants is strelitzia (strelitzia spp.) which has several usages. this research program was focused on increasing the vase life of strelitzia cut foliage in the normal storage condition. the experiment was arranged as completely randomized design with three replications. treatments included combinations of four different levels of gibberellic acid (...

Salicylic acid (SA) is considered to be plant signal molecule that plays a key role in plant growth, development, and defense responses. The physiological mechanism of exogenous SA to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. Fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mM SA and then held at 25◦C up to 12 days. ...

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is one of the most important cut flowers with fragrant buds. To prolong vase life of tuberose, proper preservative solution applying is necessary. For this purpose, two types of chemical and natural treatments were used. Applied treatments were benzyladenine (50, 100, and 150 mg l-1), the extracts of rosemary and Eucalyptus (12, 25 and 50%) and sour orange fruit e...

chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum (ramat.) kitamura cv. pattriot) 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 this study was to evaluate the efficacy of salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) in extending the vase life of chrysanthemum flowers. therefore, a factorial experiment based...

this experiment was conducted in national institute of ornamental plants for extending vase life of anturium andranum cv. climax cut flowers. experiment was done based on completely randomized design (crd) with three replications and three cut flowers per replicate. treatments included volk oil emulsion wax coating (10, 20 and 30 percent), thyme oil (100, 150 and 250 ppm), salicylic acid (200, ...

salicylic acid (sa) is considered to be plant signal molecule that plays a key role in plant growth, development, and defense responses. the physiological mechanism of exogenous sa to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm sa and then held at 25◦c up to 12 days. ...

the anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (pas) putrescine (put), spermidine (spd) and spermine (spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. the physiological mechanism of exogenous put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm put and then...
