EFFECTS OF LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF CUT CARNATION FLOWERS.

Author(s) : FARAGHER J. D., BOROCHOV A., HALEVY A. H.

Summary

STORAGE OF FLOWERS, WITH STEMS IN WATER AT 275 K (2 DEG C) FOR 6 TO 17 DAYS, ADVANCED THE TIME TO END OF VASE LIFE BY 1 TO 2.6 DAYS, BUT NOT THE TIME TO THE FIRST RISE IN FLOWER ETHYLENE PRODUCTION. THIS SUGGESTS THAT COLD STORAGE INCREASED THE SENSITIVITY OF THE FLOWERS TO ENDOGENOUS ETHYLENE. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE THAT LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE HAS EFFECTS ON CUT CARNATION FLOWERS OTHER THAN SIMPLY SLOWING AGING PROCESSES.
