NAA and STS effects on potted bougainvillea: Early flower death allows delayed bract abscission

Abstract: The effects of Silver Thiosulphate (STS) and Naphtalene Acetic Acid (NAA) (0,45%NAA+1,2% NAA-amide at 500 mg.l -1 ) on flowering bud development, anthesis duration, bract longevity and bract photosynthetic rate were studied in Bougainvillea spectabilis 'Killie Campbell' plants, under interior conditions. The relationships between bract longevity and the above parameters were also investigated.NAA induced longer bract longevities, shorter flower anthesis duration and lower percentage of flowers reaching anthesi… Show more

Compounds that can be used to prevent ethylene production in cut flowers include silver thiosulfate, naphthalene acetic acid (Gago;Monteiro, 2012), and 1 methylciclopropene (1-MCP) (Mattiuz et al, 2012a).…”
