“…Although these treatments outperformed the control in most cases, the findings may show the negative impact of higher concentrations of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 on the longevity of cut lisianthus flowers. The negative effect of high Ce(NO 3 ) 3 rates have also been reported on the longevity of cut Lilium (Houa et al, 2018) and rose flowers (Wang et al, 2017), which is in agreement with our findings.…”

“…Ce(NO 3 ) 3 inhibited lipid peroxidation or MDA accumulation in the petals of lisianthus and preserved the cut flowers for a longer time. The positive effect of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 on reducing MDA accumulation has been reported for the cut flowers of Liliums (Houa et al, 2018) and carnations (Zheng and Guo, 2018) too, which is similar to our findings. Wang et al (2017) attributed the effect of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 on prolonging the vase life of cut rose flowers to the preservation of membrane structure through reducing lipid peroxidation and MDA accumulation.…”

“…Cerium is an antibiotic (Huang, 2002) and antioxidant (He and Loh, 2000;Yin et al, 2009) whose positive effect in the form of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 has been reported on the postharvest longevity of cut carnations (Zheng and Guo, 2018) and roses (Wang et al, 2017). Houa et al (2018) reported that the application of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 in the vase solution of Lilium cut flowers prolonged their postharvest longevity by enhancing water uptake and influencing the ASA-GSH cycle. The glutathione ascorbate cycle is one of the enzymatic defense systems of plants in purifying reactive oxygen species and maintaining membrane stability under stress.…”

“…Cerium(III) nitrate in particular is a widely used treatment for burn wounds, exhibiting nearly a 50% reduction in death rate for patients with life-threatening burns when compared to patients who were administered silver nitrate treatments (Jessica and Yuji, 2015). There are reports on the role of this compound in alleviating the destructive effects of oxidative stresses (Wu et al, 2014;Liang et al, 2006) and improving the activity of ASA-GSH cycle, which is essential for reducing lipoperoxidation (Liu et al, 2016;Houa et al, 2018).…”

“…In postharvest physiology, cerium nitrate [Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ] is used to prolong the longevity of cut flowers. The application of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 to the vase solution of rose cut flowers (Wang et al, 2017) and Lilium longiflorum cut flowers (Houa et al, 2018) enhances their longevity by increasing antioxidant activity and strengthening ASA-GSH cycle. According to Zheng and Guo (2018), the treatment of carnation cut flowers with Ce(NO 3 ) 3 reduced the accumulation of MDA and strengthened the metabolism of ascorbate and glutathione in petals.…”

Lisianthus is a major cut flower, but it has a short vase life. To prolong postharvest longevity and improve quantitative and qualitative traits of cut lisianthus flowers, an experiment was conducted on the basis of a Completely Randomized Design with eight treatments on 120 flower sprays in three replications. The experimental treatments included salicylic acid (SA) at the rates of 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1, cerium nitrate [Ce(NO3)3] at the rates of 20, 40, 80, and 200 μM, and control (distilled water). The results revealed that the flowers treated with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and those treated with 100 mg L-1 SA had the longest vase life of 15.42 and 15.20 days, respectively. Also, these treatments were most effective in improving water uptake, reducing microbial load at the stem end, and enhancing petals’ protein content. The lowest malondialdehyde (18.65 nmol g-1fresh weight) was related to the treatment of 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA. These treatments showed the lowest polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, too. The activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and peroxidase (POD) antioxidant enzymes was significantly higher in the flowers treated with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA. The treatment of 200 mg L-1 SA had negative effects on all the recorded traits. So, it can be concluded that the treatment of cut lisianthus flowers with 40 μM Ce(NO3)3 and 100 mg L-1 SA can prolong their postharvest longevity by reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

The aim was to evaluate the application of three non-essential beneficial elements such as vanadium (V), selenium (Se), and cerium (Ce) during tomato and pepper seedling production in order to improve their quality. Low concentrations of these elements may promote plant growth and improve tolerance towards stress, and they could also increase the nutritional value of vegetable foods. The seeds from tomato and pepper were sown in germination trays containing commercial substrates, and the experiment was established in a greenhouse. Twenty days after seeding, one weekly irrigation was performed with 50% Hoagland nutrient solution (control) plus either 3, 5, or 10 μM NH 4 VO 3 ; 5, 10, or 20 μM Na 2 SeO 3 ; and 25, 50, or 100 μM CeCl 3 . After four weekly applications, it was observed that all three V doses (3, 5, and 10 μM) and the lowest Se concentration (5 μM) promoted the growth of both root and shoots, and they increased the dry biomass for both tomato and pepper seedlings. Only the addition of 50 μM Ce promoted tomato seedling growth. Both V and Se increased the content of phenolic compounds on pepper seedlings. These elements may be used for seedling production at plant nursery level in order to ensure their uniformity and quality. It is an innovative tool to ensure maximum yield of crops.
