چکیده
'The great appear great, because we are on our knees. Let us rise!,' wrote Larkin. Jean Faugier ( 1 ) described the 'tall poppy syndrome' and spoke of 'bold, nonconformist', brightly- coloured flowers being chopped down mercilessly by farmers just because they were different and stood above the rest in the wheatfields.

Comparison of the application of postharvest treatment of ethanol to improve the longevity of cut flowers in two cultivars of gerbera
Gerbera is an important commercial cut flower that its vase life is usually short due to vascular occlusion. In this study, we assessed the effect of ethanol (2%) in prolonging the vase life, fresh weight, relative water uptake and some physiological and biochemical factors in the stem of two cultivars of gerbera cut flowers (‘Bayadère’ and ‘Sunway’). Ethanol extended the vase life of cut flowe...
متن کاملResponse of Cut Rose Flowers to Relative Humidity and Recut During Postharvest Life
Experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of different originated (the same mother plants with different growers from different cities in Ethiopia) cut rose flowers to various relative humidity (RH) and recut (recut and non-recut). Three different experiments (E1, E2 and E3) using three RH (60, 75 and 90%) and three Ethiopian growing areas (Fleur, Liki and Longonot) with 10 replicatio...
متن کاملTreatment with Essential Oils Extends the Vase Life of Cut Flowers of Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of Lisianthus. For this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...
متن کاملEffects of Different Preservative Solutions on Vase Life of Narcissus tazetta Cut Flowers
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si), ethanol (Et), ascorbic acid (AA) and citric acid (CA) on vase life of Narcissus tazetta L. cv. ‘Shahla’cut flowers. For this purpose, an experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with Si (5, 10 and 20 mM), Et (2 and 4%), AA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1), CA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and control (distillated...
متن کاملImpact of Exogenous Spermine Application on the Vase Life of Cut Rose Flowers ‘Dolce Vita’
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...
