Narcissus is one of the very popular flowers among Iranians. This flower has a short life. To investigate the increasing of vase life of cut Narcissus, sour orange fruit extract in concentrations of 2.5, 4, 5.5 and 7 ml L-1 and sucrose in concentrations of 3, 4, 5 and 6% were used. In addition, distilled water was used as a control treatment. In this experiment, characters of vase life and perc...

The effects of pulse treatment with gibberellin A3 (GA3), silveT thiosulfate complex (STS), and with or without sucrose on chlorophyll degTadation and vase life of cut flowers of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis were investigated. The 20-hr pulsing treatment with STS extended the vase life of cut fiowers of IVL tazetta var. chinensis, Pulse treatments with GA3 delayed degradation of chlorophyll...

in this research the effect of potrecine, spermine and spermidine on the postharvest life of cut red carnation (corsa) and some physiological trait was investigated in horticultural lab of azad university. therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized block design with tree levels of putrescine (1, 2 and 3) mm and spermidine (0.5, 1 and 2) and spermine (1, 2 and 3) mm with 3 replicati...

two factorial experiments were conducted to study the interactive effects of four levels of sucrose (0, 20, 40 and 60 g l-1), two levels of citric acid (0 and 160 mg l-1) and two levels of one of the following compounds (aluminum sulphate, 0 and 160 mg l-1 and silver nitrate, 0 and 120 g l-1) on vase life and quality attributes of lisianthus cut flowers ‘mariachi blue fonce.’ the experiments ca...

The respiration of cut flowers of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus ex Hook.f. 'Vesuvio') and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) increased exponentially with increasing storage temperature. Poststorage vase life and negatively gravitropic bending of the neck of the flowers were both strongly affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures. Vase life and stem bending after dry storage sho...

The effect of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) on the vase life of cut rose flowers was investigated. ‘Yellow Island’ roses were obtained from a commercial grower. The roses were pulse treated with SA (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg l) for 18 hours. Compared to the control treatment (DW), the greatest delay in senescence was obtained in cut roses treated with 150 mg l SA. With this treatment, flower vase...

this experiment was carried out on lily cut flowers in greenhouse conditions and at the agricultural faculty of guilan university. the statistical factorial experiment was performed in a completely randomized design of three replications. the main factors studied were cultivars navona (asiatic) and fangio (la) along with four levels of calcium sulfate (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mm) in combination with t...

Any given verb can appear in some syntactic frames (Sally broke the vase, The vase broke) but not others (*Sally broke at the vase, *Sally broke the vase to John). There is now considerable evidence that the syntactic behaviors of some verbs can be predicted by their meanings, and many current theories posit that this is true for most if not all verbs. If true, this fact would have striking imp...
