“…Our proposal is consistent with the finding that rose flower senescence was linked to membrane disruption induced by its lipid peroxidation [ 1 ], supportive of total phenols and GSH roles in mitigation of oxidative stress adverse effects. Increased total phenols due to external MT supply observed in the current study agrees with the finding reported by Lezoul et al [ 30 ] in carnation cut flowers. Mohammadi et al [ 39 ] demonstrated similarly that phenolic compounds protect lipid membrane oxidation against ROS adverse effects.…”

“…Decreasing the lipid peroxidation and therefore maintaining MSI has been previously reported in cut flowers [ 13 , 35 , 36 ]. Our results agreed with those of Lezoul et al [ 30 ] who indicate MT role in retaining the MSI, which contributes to the prolonged vase life of cut carnation. MT-induced reduction in H 2 O 2 level found in this study is consistent with the observed decline in MDA level of rose flowers, indicative of oxidative stress detoxification.…”

“…Increasing the vase life by maintaining the proper water relation and RWC was also observed in gladiolus cut spikes [ 13 ] and cut roses [ 1 ]. Similarly, Lezoul et al [ 30 ] showed that MT treatment resulted in water relation preservation during postharvest life in cut carnation. Furthermore, MT-induced stomatal closure of cut roses may participate in reducing water loss and consequently maintaining the water balance.…”

“…Noticeably, the information about melatonin functions in postharvest quality responses is mainly from vegetables [ 16 , 25 , 26 ] and fruits [ 24 , 27 , 28 ], but little is available regarding the roles that MT play in preserving the postharvest quality of cut flowers. In this connection, as far as we know, only two reports [ 29 , 30 ] investigated the effects of exogenous MT on improving the postharvest quality of anthurium and carnation. Indeed, there is no information about the influence of MT on maintaining the postharvest quality of cut rose flowers and its underlying regulatory mechanism.…”

The vase life of cut rose is relatively short, therefore; preserving its postharvest quality via eco-friendly approaches is of particular economic importance. From the previous literature, despite melatonin (MT) plays diverse important roles in the postharvest quality maintenance, its impact on preserving the postharvest quality of cut flowers is really scarce. This research therefore was undertaken to find out the possibility of exogenous MT as an eco-friendly preservative to extend the vase life of cut roses. The flowering stems of Rosa hybrida cv. ‘First Red’ were pulsed in MT solutions at 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mM for 30 min and then transferred to distilled water for evaluation. The vase life was significantly prolonged and relative water content was considerably maintained due to MT application compared to the control, more so with 0.2 mM concentration which nearly doubled the vase life (1.9-fold) higher than the control. SEM investigation showed that MT treatment reduced the stomatal aperture in lower epidermis which was widely opened in control flowers. MT treatment significantly increased the phenol content, glutathione (GSH) content and CAT, APX and GR enzyme activities compared to untreated flowers. Additionally, the radical scavenging capacity in MT-treated flowers was considerably higher than that of control and therefore MT treatment reduced H2O2 production and lipid peroxidation, which altogether reflected in membrane stability maintenance.

Horticultural products display fast senescence after harvest at ambient temperatures, resulting in decreased quality and shorter shelf life. As a gaseous signal molecule, nitric oxide (NO) has an important physiological effect on plants. Specifically, in the area of NO and its regulation of postharvest senescence, tremendous progress has been made. This review summarizes NO synthesis; the effect of NO in alleviating postharvest senescence; the mechanism of NO-alleviated senescence; and its interactions with other signaling molecules, such as ethylene (ETH), abscisic acid (ABA), melatonin (MT), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen gas (H2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and calcium ions (Ca2+). The aim of this review is to provide theoretical references for the application of NO in postharvest senescence in horticultural products.
