“…Low temperature storage in darkness is used as a holding method for numerous plants species (Heins et al 1992;Kaczperski, Armitage 1992;Sato et al 2004). In the present experiment, applying of darkchilling stress to broccoli transplants of different age did not gave clear and stable effect on the course of phenological phases.…”

Hort. Sci. (Prague), 41: 71-79.Broccoli is native to moderate climatic zone, and summer cultivation of this species in Central Europe conditions leads to a decrease of heads quality. The aim of present investigations was application of dark-chilling at 2°C for 1 and 2 weeks to transplants of various ages to enhance its tolerance against adverse conditions in the field and to modify the yield potential. Broccoli cv. Monaco F 1 can be recommended for summer production in Central Europe, because of high yield potential and lack of buttoning in high temperature conditions. Dark-chilling of 4-week-old transplants for two weeks significantly increased the yield, but also the percentage of stems with hollows as compared to control. Significant advancing of harvest together with prolongation of the harvest's period can be achieved by the use of 6 and 8-week-old transplants chilled for 2 weeks. Dark-chilling of 10-week-old transplants resulted in forming of smallest heads with the highest percentage of hollow stems.

“…Transplant storage is necessary for coordinating the supply of transplants with variable demand (Sato et al, 2004). Transplant production has seasonal market demand, and millions of transplants should be intensively produced during a narrow window of time at a planting season (Justus and Kubota, 2010).…”

Cucumber and paprika transplants were stored at 9, 12, 15, and 18°C under dark conditions for 15 days and then grown in a greenhouse for 14 days after transplanting. To determine the effects of low storage temperature and long-term continuous darkness on the quality and vigour of transplants, we investigated the quality of transplants during storage and the growth of stored transplants after transplanting. In cucumber transplants, decreasing storage temperature reduced stem elongation and decrease in SPAD value. The quality of cucumber transplants stored at 9°C was well preserved during storage, but they did not survive after transplanting due to chilling damage. Growth and development after transplanting were significantly greater when cucumber transplants were stored at 12°C. In paprika transplants, the quality of transplants did not significantly differ before and after storage. After transplanting, there was no significant difference in the survival rate and growth, but the number of flower buds was greater in the paprika transplants stored at lower temperatures (9 and 12°C). These results indicate that the responses of transplants to the conditions of low temperature and darkness differed between cucumber and paprika, and storage temperature in darkness must be controlled carefully considering species-specific responses to reduce quality deterioration during storage and improve the recovery of transplants after transplanting.

“…In plug system usually seeds are sown to plug trays by an automated seeder, and with a few exceptions, only one plant per cell is raised (Jeong, 1998(Jeong, , 2000. Transplanting is often delayed by lack of time or equipment, or by labor problems or weather (Jeong, 1998;Sato et al, 2004).…”

-To test the quality change of seedlings of three domestic medicinal plants raised in plug trays, a short term storage experiment was conducted. Seedlings were kept in growth chambers for two weeks at 4 or 8℃ temperature combined with 0 or 5 μmol･m･ -2 ･s -1 PPFD. Quality of glasshouse-raised seedlings was assessed after two weeks of cold storage in the growth chamber and one week of acclimation in the greenhouse. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber of Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo, plant height was the greatest in the treatment 8℃ combined with 0 μmol･m -2 ･s -1 PPFD.Internode length of P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo was the greatest in the treatment of 4℃ combined with 0 μmol･mPPFD. After one week of acclimatization in a glasshouse, the growth and development, such as plant height, internode length and leaf size, were greater in the 8℃ combined with 5 μmol･m -2 ･s -1 PPFD than in the other treatments. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber of Sophora tonkinensis, plant height increased more in the treatment of 4℃ than 8℃. After one week of acclimatization in a glasshouse, number of leaves did not change in the treatment of 4℃ combined with 0 μmol･m -2 ･s -1 PPFD, but it increased in the other treatments. Leaf width increased more under the dark than light condition. Leaf length did not observably change in any treatments. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber, plant height of Angelica gigas Nakai was the greatest in the treatment of 8℃. Number of leaves was the greatest in the treatment of 8℃. Leaf growth was greater under dark than light condition. These results suggested that optimal storage environment was 8℃ combined with 5 μmol･m -2 ･s -1 PPFD for P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo, and 4℃ combined with 0 μmol･m -2 ･s -1 PPFD for S. tonkinensis and A. gigas Nakai. Hence, proper combination of temperature and PPFD were necessary for better storage, and acclimatization and growth, thereafter, of the plug seedlings of theses plant species.
