Flower bud opening and senescence in roses (Rosa hybrida L.)

The flower is the most significant and beautiful part of plants. Flowers are very useful organs in plant developmental phenomenon. During flower bud opening, various events takes place in a well defined sequence, representing all aspects of plant development, such as cell division, cellular differentiation, cell elongation or expansion and a wide spectrum of gene expression. The complexity of flower bud opening illustrates that various biological mechanisms are involved at different stages. Senescence represents the ultimate stage of floral development and results in wilting or abscission of whole flower or flower parts. Senescence is an active process and governed by a well defined cell death program. Once a flower bud opens, the programmed senescence of petal allows the removal of a metabolically active tissue. In leaves, this process can be reversed, but in floral tissue it cannot, indicating that a highly controlled genetic program for cell death is operating. The termination of a flower involves at least two, sometimes overlapping, mechanisms. In one, the perianth abscises before the majority of its cells initiate a cell death program. Abscission may occur before or during the mobilization of food reserves to other parts of the plant. Alternatively, the petals may be more persistent, so that cell deterioration and food remobilization occur while the petals are still part of the flower. The overall pattern of floral opening varies widely between plant genera, therefore, a number of senescence parameters have been used to group plants into somewhat arbitrary categories. Opening and senescence of rose flower is still an unsolved jigsaw in the world of floriculture industry and the mechanism behind the onset of the very early events in the sequence still remains to be elucidated. Hence, for advancing the knowledge on the pertinent aspect of bud opening and senescence the literature has been cited under this review.Keywords Abscisic acid Á Ascorbate peroxidase Á Catalase Á Ethylene Á Gibberellin Á Glutathione reductase Á Hydrogen peroxide Á Hydroxyl radical Á Lipoxygenase Á Pectin methyl esterase Á Polygalactouronase Á Peroxidase Á Relative water content Plant growths regulators Gibberellins (GAs)The role of GAs in petal growth has been demonstrated in many plants.

“…Another evidence of dynamism of DC-EIL3 was supported by the unexpected maintained increase in its mRNA level in sucrose treated ovaries of the flower. Sucrose and other sugars are known to extend the vase life of flowers, 76 however sucrose induced the decline of ethylene responsiveness in carnation petals, 77 raising the expected possibility of delayed increase in DC-EIL3 mRNA. Also the elevated levels of DC-EIL1/2 and DC-EIL4 mRNA in flowers treated with sucrose were in contradiction with depleted ethylene responsiveness, prompting tissue dependent and complex ethylene signaling.…”

“…ABA, nitric oxide, boric acid, ethanol and sucrose treatment, all affect flower senescence in cut carnations (Ronen and Mayak 1981;Leshem et al 1998;Serrano et al 2001;Podd and van Staden 2002;Verlinden and Garcia 2004), but generally had no effect on floral senescence. ABA accumulated during natural senescence of carnation flower before the onset of ethylene production, and application of exogenous ABA promoted ethylene production and flower senescence (Onoue et al 2000).…”

Cycloheximide (CHI), which inhibits eukaryotic protein synthesis, effectively prevented daylily floral senescence (Lay-Yee et al 1992) and inhibited ethylene-induced floral senescence in carnation (Wulster et al 1982).…”

Effects of various chemical agents and early ethylene production on floral senescence of Hibiscus syriacus L.

To understand the factors that induce floral senescence in Hibiscus syriacus L., we have investigated the effects of various chemical agents on flower senescence at two different flowering stages, before and after full bloom, as well as the relationship between flower longevity and endogenous ethylene production before full bloom. Treatments with ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and ethephon enhanced floral senescence, while aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) promoted flower longevity regardless of treatment timing. Although ethanol slightly extended flower longevity, abscisic acid (ABA), nitric oxide, boric acid and sucrose, which have been reported to affect flower longevity or senescence, had no effect on H. syriacus floral senescence. The polyamine spermine (SPM), methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG), an inhibitor of SPM biosynthesis, and cycloheximide (CHI) accelerated flower senescence when applied before full bloom, but had no effect when applied after full bloom. SPM, MGBG and CHI treatments resulted in enhanced ethylene production during flower opening, and the promotion of flower senescence is mediated by ethylene production prior to full bloom. Furthermore, endogenous ethylene, spontaneously produced before blooming, was closely associated with floral senescence. These results suggest that ethylene production during flower opening plays a key role in determining the timing of Hibiscus flower senescence.
