in this study, postharvest characteristics of eight cut rose cultivars (valentine, king pride, prima donna, black baccara, victory, papagayo, royal baccara and yellow island) were investigated in a growth room with temperature of 20 ºc, relative humidity of 50% and light intensity of 10 µmol m-2 s-1 in autumn 2008. among cultivars significant differences were found for all of the attributes eva...

In this research, the effects of thidiazuron pulse treatment and salicylic acid were examined to improve vase life and maintain the quality of Alstroemeria ҅Modena҆ cut flowers. The experiment was done in a factorial experiment based on RCD with 16 treatments, 3 replications and 48 plots. The flowers were placed in different concentrations of thidiazuron (0, 10, 20, and 50 μM) and salicylic acid ...

carnation (dianthus caryophyllus l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. themajority of thecarnation cultivars are sensitive to ethylene which affected the physiological and biochemical postharvest characteristics of these flowers.applying inhibitors of biosynthesis and action of ethylene is important factor to protect the display quality and extend postharvest life. in order...

To evaluate the effect of nanosilver (5, 10 and 20 mg l-1), hydrogen peroxide (200, 400 and 600 µM) and Nanosil (200, 400 and 600 µM) as antimicrobial compounds in vase solution of cut rose cv. ‘Grand Press Angela’ flowers, an experiment with 10 treatments and 3 replications was conducted in a completely randomized design. Cut rose flowers were continuously treated with these compounds. The res...

A study was conducted to test the effect of 58.5 mM maltose, glucose, fructose, galactose and sucrose, and sucrose concentrations of 14.6, 29.2, 58.5 and 117.0 mM supplemented with 200 mg L-1 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphate (HQS) on the vase life and stem fresh weight changes in waxflower (Chamelaucium Desf.). The effect of the interaction between sucrose and HQS concentrations on the vase life of ...

this research was carried out in order to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of ethanol and methanol (0, 4, 6 and 12%) and two pulse treatments (12 and 24 hour) on longevity of cut standard-carnation (sensi cultivar) in a factorial based on randomized completely design with three replications, at tehran university, aboreyhan pardis, horticulture department, during 2010. the resu...

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 this research, the effects of pulsing application of preservative solutions containing salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) and long period application of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg/l), menthol (75 and 125 mg/l) and eugenol (50 and 100 mg/l) on the maintain quality and extend vase-life of carnation cut flowers two tests were eva...
