Data from: Plastic responses contribute to explaining altitudinal and temporal variation in potential flower longevity in high Andean Rhodolirion montanum

, 2016
The tendency for flower longevity to increase with altitude is believed by many alpine ecologists to play an important role in compensating for low pollination rates at high altitudes due to cold and variable weather conditions.

Physiological and biochemical changes during flower senescence of herbaceous peony and a new postharvest approach for extending flower longevity

Ornamental Plant Research
The herbaceous peony is a significant cut-flower plant cultivated worldwide. However, the in-depth understanding of herbaceous peony flower senescence is scarce, and the short natural florescence substantially restricts its industrial development.

Genotypic Variation in Postharvest Flower Longevity of Asiatic Hybrid Lilies [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1998
Genotypic variation in postharvest flower longevity was determined for 63 Asiatic lily hybrids ( Lilium L.). The reliability of standardized test conditions for longevity screening was also examined. Improvement of lily flower longevity by breeding appears feasible.

Plasticity of flower longevity in alpine plants is increased in populations from high elevation compared to low elevation populations

, 2016
Flower longevity is an adaptive trait, optimized to balance reproductive success against the costs of flower maintenance. The trait is highly plastic in response to pollination success, and numerous studies report increased flower longevity in high ...

Effects of floral resources on the longevity and parasitism of Cotesia vestalis Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in Vietnam

Heliyon, 2019
Parasitoids are important biological control of crop pests. In Vietnam, Cotesia vestalis is a native wasp species that has demonstrated its applicability as a natural insect pest enemy.

Genetic Analysis of Cut-flower Longevity in Antirrhinum majus [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2001
Genetics of Antirrhinum majus L. (snapdragon) cut flower postharvest longevity (PHL) was investigated by generation means analysis using a white short-lived inbred (WS) and white long-lived inbred (WL) to determine mode of inheritance and heritability.

Potential flower longevity of the alpine Rhodolirium montanum

, 2017
Data collected during two consecutive austral summers (Yr 1: 2013-2014; Yr 2: 2014-2015) at three site over an altitudinal transect in the Andes of central Chile. Pollinator-excluded flowers were observed daily during the entire flowering season.

Mechanical damage on Bird-of-Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) postharvest

Ornamental Horticulture, 2013
The marketing of strelitzia (Strelitzia reginae) has been increasing due to its beauty, exotic colors and high post-harvest longevity. It has potential to increase also in international exports, however this has been limited by the scarcity of ...
