AB: Cut spikes of Gladiolus cultivars (Vandana, Suryakiran, Chandani and Suna
yna) were transferred to a vase solution containing STS [silver thiosulfate] (1.
0 mM), sucrose (4%), sulfosalicylic acid (100 ppm) with or without sucrose, or S
TS + sucrose. The effects of sulfosalicylic acid on membrane stability and vase
life of flowers were studied. All the vase solutions significantly enhanced the
quality of the cut flowers. Sulfosalicylic acid phosphorus + sucrose significant
ly improved membrane stability in cut flowers, and prolonged the vase life of th
e cut flowers from 4.80 to 12.00 days. Among the cultivars, Sunayana was superio
r with respect to membrane stability and vase life of cut flowers..

AB: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of 5-sulfosalicylic acid
(5-SSA) on the vase life of cut flowers of Gladiolus grandiflora variety 'Green
Willow'. The vase solution having 5-SSA significantly increased cumulative uptak
e of vase solution, vase life, number of opened florets and decreased the number
of unopened florets compared to the controls. Spikes kept in vase solution cont
aining 5-SSA also exhibited lower respiration rates, lipid peroxidation and lipo
xygenase (LOX) activity, and higher membrane stability, soluble protein concentr
ation, and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. Results suggest
that 5-SSA increases vase life by increasing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) s
cavenging activity of the Gladiolus cut flowers..

AB: Studies were conducted to investigate the effects of bamboo vinegar in ex
tending the vase life of Rosa hybrida, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Gerbera jameson
ii and Dianthus caryophyllus. Results showed that different vinegar concentratio
ns had different effects on the cut flowers. Bamboo vinegar at 1-2 ml/litre of w

e, thickened the scape and delayed catalase degradation in the studied cut flowe
rs. Bamboo vinegar also delayed senescence and extended the vase life of the cut

AB: Cut carnations were subjected to simulated wet transport with their stem
bases in a preserving solution containing a gelling agent with 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4,
and 0.8 m\M silver thiosulfate (STS) solution for 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h at
25 degrees C in the dark to examine the retention of freshness and prolongation
of vase life. The amount of water absorbed by cut carnation flowers from the pre
servative was about 20-30% less than that taken up from deionized water. However
, the fresh weight of both groups of cut flowers increased by almost the same am
ount during transportation. Flowers transported in the preservative maintained t
heir freshness as much as the flowers transported in deionized water but those t
ransported in a dry condition lost moisture and wilted. Vase life of cut carnati
ons transported in the preservative with STS solution was longer than that of th
e flowers transported in deionized water or those transported dry. The data reve
al that cut carnation flowers absorb Ag from the STS solution. The vase life of
cut flowers treated with the STS solution was affected by the quantity of Ag abs
orption, and not by the means of absorbing Ag. We recommended that STS concentra
tion be added at 2.0 mM to a preservative solutions to extend vase life when the
transportation period is 6-12 h..

8+or-1 degrees C for 24 h then shipped to Europe by sea (21 days at 1 degrees C)
, where the flowers with at least 10% blackened leaf area were determined. The L
eucospermum cultivars were placed in vases containing 0, 1, 2, or 5% glucose for
the glucose vase experiment. An increase in glucose concentration significantly
improved the vase life of Protea cultivars. The glucose pulsing solutions had n
o significant effect on Cardinal leaf blackening reduction or on vase life exten

10% glucose solution, except Susara. Pink Ice showed phytotoxicity with glucose
solutions of 4% and above. An increase in glucose concentrations significantly
reduced the number of blackened leaves in Sylvia shipped to Europe. The vase lif

AB: Cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Noblesse) with a leaf-less short st
em in vase water containing various additives were incubated in a growth chamber
(23 degrees C, 12-h photoperiod, 75% relative humidity, and a photosynthetic ph
oton flux density of 20 micro mol m-2 s-1) for approximately 2 weeks. The vase l
ife of cut flowers maintained in a solution of 30 g sucrose + 0.2 g 8-hydroxyqui
noline sulfate (HQC) litre-1 was approximately 4 days longer than those maintain
ed in distilled water alone. However, cut flowers in a solution of putrescine (P
ut), spermidine (Spd) or spermine (Spm) at 0.1 mM withered earlier than those in
distilled water alone. The addition of 0.1 mM Put to the sucrose + HQS solution
increased vase life by 2 days compared with sucrose + HQS solution alone. Spd a
nd Spm did not induce such an effect. Flowers maintained in Put-supplemented suc
rose + HQS solution showed a much slower rate of petal unfolding and significant
ly lower content of fructose in petals than those maintained in sucrose + HQS so
lution. The results suggest that Put induced the alteration of sucrose metabolis
m in petals, resulting in the retardation of petal cell growth and unfolding of
petals, thereby extending the vase life of cut rose flowers..

reviewed. The beneficial effect of sugars on the supply of substrates for respi

AB: Gladiolus (cv. Gustan Springer), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium
[Dendranthema morifolium]) and lily (Crinum latifolium) were grown at various da
y/night temperatures (16/10, 22/10, 22/16, 28/16, 28/22 and 28/28 degrees C) and
light regimes (350 and 700 micromol second-1 m-2). At the onset of flowering, t
he plants were exposed to sunlight (mean of 1450 micromol second-1 m-2) or low l
ight intensity (418 micromol second-1 m-2), and shade (175 micromol second-1 m-2
) until maturity. The intensity of natural light was reduced to 20, 50 or 70% by
shading the plants with wire a net. The correlation between carbohydrate conten
t and vase life were also investigated by growing the cut flowers under various
light intensities. The total growth rate, leaf area, and number of leaves increa
sed with the increase in the mean daily temperature. The total chlorophyll conte
nt of leaves increased whereas the starch content decreased with the reduction i
n light intensity. The rate of photosynthesis was lower at the pre-flowering and
flowering stages. The carbohydrate content was higher at the reproductive stage
than at the vegetative stage. The total sugar content decreased in all parts of
the plants at low temperature. The incorporation of 6% sucrose or glucose solut
ions improved the quality and vase life of cut flowers. Supplementation with car
bohydrate improved the colour of petals, increased bud opening, strengthened the
pedicels, and extended inflorescence longevity by up to 9 days..

AB: Purpose of the review: This review gauges the effects of recent research
into molecular and genetic flower senescence on the development of postharvest c
ut-flower technologies. Recent findings: Ethylene, cytokinin, sugars, cysteine p
roteases and other hydrolytic enzymes influence senescence in cut flowers throug
h a complex series of interactions that are being actively investigated, but hav
e yet to be fully understood. Senescence-related genes have now been isolated an
d characterised in a number of model flower crops (eg, petunia, arabidopsis) and
cut flower species (eg, Alstroemeria, carnation, Iris, Sandersonia). The expres
sion of these genes, together with a full understanding of the function of encod
ed proteins, is progressing. To date, new technologies for extending the posthar
vest life of cut flowers have been found through manipulation of ethylene biosyn
thesis and sensitivity. The challenge is to find avenues for maintaining quality
and extending the vase life of ethylene-insensitive cut flowers. Directions for
future research: Solving the functional significance of genes that have been li
nked to flower senescence will further advance our understanding of the relevanc
e of proteolysis, sugars, membrane integrity and cell wall modifications that oc
cur during floral organ senescence. In turn, information on genetic control poin
ts of cut flower senescence will enable development of new avenues for manipulat
ion and extension of the postharvest life of cut flowers (either new cultivars o

this increase was suppressed by lowering the temperature of vase water. These re
sults show that low temperature of vase water might improve the stem water relat
ion and extended the vase life of cut rose flowers.

AB: Results of previous studies conducted at the University in Wageningen, th
e Netherlands, on methods of prolonging quality of perishable products in storag
e are discussed. Detrimental effects of long transport periods and inadequate te
mperature control on keeping quality of ornamental plants (cut flowers and pot p
lants) are considered. The importance of cold storage and application of the rig
ht temperature to different ornamental plant species during the cold storage for
improvement of quality preservation and prolongation of the vase life of cut fl
owers is emphasized. Diagrams are presented on the effect of an hour without wat
er, and availability of water in the substrate on on the postharvest life span o
f chrysanthemums. Data are tabulated on the effect of temperature on respiration
rate of carnations and roses. The effect of different temperatures in storage o
n quality of flowers, and response of different plants to ethylene are considere
d. Factors contributing to development of Botrytis, such as RH, temperature, inj
uries of plant tissues and susceptibility of cultivars, are discussed. Data are
tabulated on reaction of waxflower [Chamelaucium uncinatum] to ethylene at diffe
rent temperatures.
