Preharvest Trehalose Application Modulates Morpho–Physiological Traits of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) and Postharvest Longevity of Cut Flower by Improving Water Relations and Scavenging ROS

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The short vase life (VL) of gladiolus cut flowers reduces their commercial importance. Trehalose (Tre), a phyto‐product that plays a unique role in plant functioning and environmental safety, can be used to improve VL. This work assessed a preharvest spray of Tre to mitigate postharvest (PHV) oxidative stress in “White Prosperity” gladiolus cut flowers
