Senescence is an integral part of the normal developmental cycle of plants and can be traced in cell, tissue and organ level. This work was focused on the efficiency of post-harvest treatment with the free polyamine spermine (Spm) to extend the vase life of cut rose flowers as an anti-senescence compound. Spm treatment was applied at the rates of 0, 1, 2 and 4 mM. Some morphological, biochemica...

The postharvest life of cut Eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. Therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (AsA) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg L-1) and citric acid (CA) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg L-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. Results indicated that a significa...

Short vase life and post-harvest losses of cut flowers are major threat to floriculture industry. There different preservative solutions that have been used extend the flowers. Hence, this study was executed at Floriculture laboratory Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad during 2018-2020 explore efficacy on quality roses. were 6 treatments viz, (T1= Distilled water, T2= Silver nitra...

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...

this study carried out based on a randomized completely design with 10 treatments geranium, eucalyptus and myrtus extraction, in 3 levels (2, 6 and 10 ml in 600 ml of distilled water) and control (distilled water) with 3 replications in 30 plots and each plot with 4 cut flowers. in this experiment traits such as vase life, water absorbtion, fresh weight, dry matter percent, petal protein conten...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of foliar spray with polyamines on postharvest life of chrysanthemum cut flowers in the horticulture laboratory of Islamic Azad University of Rafsanjan in 2015. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications with spermidine, spermine and putrescine treatments at 1, 2 and 3 mM con...

Regardless of their maturity at harvest, the vase life of cut inflorescences of the hybrid Limonium ‘Fantasia’ placed in deionized water was 4 to 5 days. A vase solution containing Physan (a quaternary ammonium disinfectant solution) at 200 μl•liter–1 and 20 g sucrose/liter not only prolonged the longevity of individual florets but also promoted bud opening so that the vase life of cut inflores...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nano-silver (ns), calcium chloride (cacl2) and their combinations on gerbera jamesonii ‘carambole’ cut flowers. the experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (crd) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. treatments consisted of 5 mg l-1 ns, 1% and 2% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns+ 1% cacl2, ...
