“…Although this was not in agreement with Wawrzynczak and Goszczynska (2003) and Petridou et al (2001), it agrees with the findings of Boose and van Staden (1989) and van Staden et al (1990) for carnation. This may be due to the distance over which BA has to move to reach the petals of a whole flower (Upfold and van Staden, 1992).…”

Effects of postharvest application of two plant growth regulators viz., benzyladenine (BA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) with sucrose in the pulse solution on the vase life of roses 'Red One' were investigated. Results show a maximum gain in fresh weight (18.01%) in the cut roses in the treatment with a 20 mg L -1 GA3 + 100 g L -1 sucrose pulse solution. In contrast to the change in fresh weight, treatments of 10 or 20 mg L -1 BA and the control recorded the maximum water uptake. A pulse solution of 10 or 20 mg L -1 GA3 + 100 g L -1 sucrose or 10 mg L -1 BA+ 10 mg L -1 GA3 + 100 g L -1 sucrose significantly increased vase life of cut roses than the control. Treatments of 100 g L -1 sucrose, control, 10 mg L -1 GA, 10 or 20 mg L -1 BA + 100 g L -1 sucrose recorded higher petal tissue electrolyte leakage and decrease in vase life. Pulsing with a solution of sucrose at lower concentrations along with GA3 (10 mg L -1 ) was promising in increasing vase life of cut roses 'Red One'.

“…BA was found to be effective to inhibit leaf-yellowing in cut chrysanthemum 'Baekyang' and 'Leopard' as chlorophyll was preserved by dipping them in 25 mg･L -1 BA solution or spraying the solution on leaves Seo and Kwack, 1994). It was also found that when cut chrysanthemum 'Reagan White' was dipped in 10 mg･L -1 BA solution for 24 hours, their chlorophyll efficiency increased and their vase life was extended (Petridou et al, 2001). When cut Lisianthus and Dahlia treated with 15.8 and 50 mg･L -1 BA respectively, the generation of ethylene was inhibited, and water balance and the turgor pressure of peduncle were maintained, delaying the senescence of the cut flowers (Musembi et al, 2015;Shimizu-Yumoto and Ichimura, 2013).…”

This study was carried out to examine the effects of NaOCl, sucrose, and BA concentration as pretreatment solution on quality and vase life of cut flowers in Dendranthema grandiflorum 'Jinba'. Flower diameter, fresh weight, and vase life in control and 0 mg･L -1 NaOCl treatments decreased, and the treatment with 100~200 mg･L -1 NaOCl was more effective in the quality and vase life. In pretreatment with 2.5% sucrose solution, flower diameter and fresh weight decreased and vase life was shortest due to the rapid leaf wilting. However, pretreatment with 0.1% sucrose solution increased the flower diameter and fresh weight, and showed the longest vase life. When more than 80 mg･L -1 BA was treated with pretreatment solution, flower diameter and fresh weight decreased, and vase life was shortened. With pretreatment of 20 mg･L -1 BA, the flower diameter was bigger than in the other treatments, but it was no effect on fresh weight and vase life. Therefore, it was suggested that pretreatment solution mixed with 200 mg･L -1 NaOCl, 0.1% sucrose, and 20 mg･L -1 BA was the most effective for the quality and vase life of cut flowers in standard chrysanthemum 'Jinba'.

“…'Blue') addition of 2% Et and 2.5% sucrose in the preserving solution increased the vase-life of lisianthus cut flowers (Frokhzad et al, 2005). Application of Et at different concentrations also extended vase-life in Bougainvillea (Sharif Hossain et al, 2008) and chrysanthemum cut flowers (Petridou et al, 2001). Massantini et al (1995) showed that the application of Et vapor on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of ethanol and essential oils of three medicinal plants namely Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), Summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) and Ajwain (Carum copticum L.) on extending carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) vase-life. For this purpose three individual trials were conducted using a completely randomized block design with three replications. In the first trial, the effect of 4% ethanol (v/v) as a continuous or pulse treatment was determined. The results showed that although both application methods increased vase-life and marketability of carnation, it was statistically non significant. In the second trial, the effects of selected essential oils at the concentration of 100, 150 and 200 ppm were investigated. All essential oils prolonged carnation vase-life. Summer savory essential oil (100 ppm) showed the highest effect (increasing 4.4 days) in comparison to the control. In the third trial, the interaction between ethanol and the essential oils was studied. Results showed there is no significant difference between application of essential oils alone and in combination with ethanol. The highest fresh weight was observed in cut flowers treated with Summer savory essential oil at 100 ppm after 6 days which was double compared to the control. According to the results of this research it is concluded that essential oils, (natural, safe and biodegradable compounds) as novel alternative materials are suitable for prolongation of carnation vase-life.
