Enhanced ethylene synthesis in cold stored carnation flowers.

Author(s) : SERRANO M., MARTINEZ MADRID M. C., RIQUELME F., ROMOJARO F.

Summary

Storage of cut carnations at 4 deg C resulted in the accumulation of N-malonyl-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid in the petals and a concomitant increase in the activity of ACC oxidase. The senescence of carnations following removal from cold storage (for 5, 7 or 9 weeks) occurred earlier with a higher peak of ethylene production than in flowers that had not been stored at low temperature.
