“…1). Kazemi and Ameri (2012) showed that the treated cut gerbera flowers with salicylic acid had the highest levels of relative fresh weight during vase period. Also, the data indicates that among the presently tested treatments, pre + post-harvest application of salicylic acid is found to be more effective in increasing relative fresh weight of cut alstroemeria flowers during vase period than in the post-harvest application of salicylic acid (Fig.…”

“…Also, salicylic acid has been found to suppress ACC-oxidase activity that is the direct precursor of ethylene and decrease ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) with increasing antioxidant enzyme activity (Ansari and Misra, 2007;Mba et al, 2007;Mahdavian et al, 2007;Canakci, 2008;Kalidage, 2009). Numerous authors have reported the application of salicylic acid at different concentration extended vase life in cut flowers of rose (Zamani et al, 2011), gerbera and lily (Kazemi et al, 2011 a and b), carnation (Kazemi and Ameri, 2012) and chrysanthemum (Vahdati et al, 2012).…”

Keeping quality and length of vase life are important factors for evaluation of cut flowers quality, for both domestic and export markets. Studding the effect of pre-and post-harvest salicylic acid applications on keeping quality and vase life of cut alstroemeria flowers during vase period is the approach taken. Aqueous solutions of salicylic acid at 0.0 (with distilled water), 1, 2 and 3 mM were sprayed to run-off (approximately 500 mL per plant), about two weeks before flowers harvest. The cut flowers were harvested in the early morning and both of cut flowers treated (sprayed) and untreated were kept in vase solutions containing salicylic acid at 0.0 (with distilled water), 1, 2 and 3 mM. Sucrose at 4% was added to all treatments as a base solution. The changes in relative fresh weight, water uptake, water loss, water balance, total chlorophyll content and vase life were estimated during vase period. The results showed that the relative fresh weight, water uptake, water balance, total chlorophyll content and vase life decreased significantly while the water loss increased significantly during experiment for all treatments. A significant difference between salicylic acid and control treatments in all measured parameters is observed. During vase period, the salicylic acid treatments maintained significantly a more favourable relative fresh weight, water uptake, water balance, total chlorophyll content and supressed significantly water loss, as compared to control treatment. Also, the results showed that the using salicylic acid increased significantly the vase life cut alstroemeria flowers, over control. The highest values of measured parameters were found when plants were treated by pre + post-harvest application of salicylic acid at 3 mM. The result revealed that the quality attributes and vase life of cut alstroemeria flowers were improved by the use of salicylic acid treatment.

Due to the huge side-effects of chemicals; essential oils have been considered as suitable alternatives for keeping the vase-life of cut flowers mainly owing to the availability and environment-friend nature of these bio-chemicals. In the present experiment, 50% substitution of STS was achieved and tested on cut carnation flowers cv. Liberty by using the essential oils from four plants; Satureja sahendica Bornm., Echinophora platyloba DC., Tanacetum balsamita L. and Cupressus arizonica Greene., as CRD with five treatments and 3 replications. Vase-life and flower diameter were affected with 50% substitution of STS by essential oils from C. arizonica and T. balsamita. Membrane stability index, Malondialdehyde (MDA) content and Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) amounts were affected by the substitution treatments as well. The main preservative effect belonged to the substitution with C. arizonica. So that, 50% STS substitution with Cupressus oil holds the highest membrane integrity and the least data for MDA and H 2 O 2 content.

“…These disrupt water uptake and reduce the vase-life of cut flowers (Robinson et al, 2009). A high number of bacteria in the vase solution are mostly responsible for the vascular blockage (Kazemi & Ameri, 2012;Robinson et al, 2009). To inhibit microbial growth in the vase solutions, many chemicals have been tried such as silver nitrate (Torre & Fjeld, 2001), silver thiosulphate (Van Doorn, 1998), hydroxyquinoline citrate (Van Doorn, 1998), sodium hypoclorite (Torre & Fjeld, 2001) and aqueous ozone (Robinson et al, 2009).…”

Orchids possess a very special place amongst ornamental plants. But high ethylene sensitivity and early flower senescence of orchid result in a short vase life and rapid quality deterioration which is of great concern for the growers, traders and consumers. An attempt was made to study the influence of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) (0 and 300 nL L ) in prolonging vase life and maintaining quality of two cut orchid hybrids Dendrobium 'Darren Glory' (DDG) and Mokara "Calypso Jumbo" (MCJ). Results showed that orchid hybrids exhibited differences in their ethylene sensitivity, vase life, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content and ACC oxidase activities. Pre-treatment with 1-MCP resulted in reduced ethylene production, vase life, ACC content and ACC oxidase activities, but increased bud opening %. Pre-treatment with аquеous ozone failed to influence all those parameters except bud opening %. Interaction effects of hybrid and 1-MCP were significant for ethylene production, hybrid and ozone for vas life, 1-MCP and ozone for bud opening %, and hybrid, 1-MCP and ozone for ethylene production and vase life. Aqueous ozone markedly contributed to the inhibition of microbial growth in vase solution. Pre-treatment of the cut orchid flowers with 300 nL L -1 1-MCP, followed by using 5.2 mg L -1 aqueous ozone as the vase solution could be recommended to maintain quality and extend vase life of both the DDG and MCJ orchid hybrids.
