“…Chemical pulsing treatments include silver thiosulfate (STS) [18,61,62], hydroquinone (HQ) [34,58,63], 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate (8-HQS) [39], silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) [64], aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) [65,66], calcium dichloride (CaCl 2 ) [67], cobalt chloride (CoCl 2 ) [60], aluminum sulphate (Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ) [68], chlorine dioxide (ClO 2 ) [69], and benzyladenine (C 12 H 11 N 5 ) [70,71]. High concentrations of silver nitrate solution have been used in studies on the pulsing treatment of many cut flowers, including gerbera [72], gladiolus [73], chrysanthemum [74], carnation [74,75], Persian buttercup [64], herbaceous peony [63], and rose [76]. This pulsing step is necessary for a prolonged storage period or for export outside the country.…”

Cut flowers have become an export income in the global floriculture market. They have multiple uses, such as for home beautification, in ceremonies (including weddings and funerals), and as symbols of love, appreciation, respect, etc., in humane society. Each type of cut flower has a different vase life and the longevity of their freshness is linked to preharvest, harvest, and postharvest tools and conditions. The postharvest quality and vase life must be considered in order to obtain the desirable qualities of cut flowers, and factors that affect this are important in the floral industry. The use of floral preservative solutions is good practice for prolonging the vase life of cut flowers. Currently, the eco-friendly solutions, which are used as floral preservatives for extending cut flower vase life, have been discovered to be a low-cost and organic alternative as compared to chemical solutions. However, there are certain problems associated with the use of chemical and eco-friendly solutions. In this review, we summarize several potential approaches to improve flower vase life and discuss the best choices for holding-preservative-solution practices.

“…Chloramine, used with tulips (Podwyszyńska, Marasek 2003), is less efficient but much more persistent (WHO 2000). AgNO 3 , sometimes applied to extend the vase life of ornamental plants, including geophytes (Doğan et al 2013), can also be useful in disinfection (Yildiz 2012), since its exogenous application may increase the in vitro multiplication rate and induced floral initiation and development in shoot cultures, as was observed with Cichorium intybus L. (Bais et al 2000). Due to the instability of AgNO 3 in the presence of chlorides and other compounds in tap water or in soil-clinging organs, its application alone has limited use (Newton et al 1933).…”

The choice of explant and its preparation are most likely one of the most important biotic factors that determine the success of a tissue culture protocol when the explant is derived from ex vitro organs. This review assesses the disinfection protocols available for saffron (Crocus sativus L.; Iridaceae) explants in an attempt to ascertain the most suitable set of parameters that could ensure successful tissue culture in subsequent treatments. From a methodological perspective, two explant types are most commonly adopted in saffron biotechnology, namely the use of fresh field-grown shoots, or dormant corms. The latter is more recommended to minimize contamination and to allow the use of more aggressive disinfection treatments.
