Summary

The vase life and floret opening of cut tuberose (P. tuberosa) inflorescences were significantly decreased by cold storage. The ideal storage temperature was found to be 0 °C for short durations because even storage at 2 °C for only 3 days significantly decreased floret opening and the vase life of stored inflorescences. Correlations between temperature, fresh weight, ethylene production by buds or florets, are presented.
