Promotion of Floral Longevity by the Ovary in Carnation Flowers
Abstract Cut carnation ( Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers held in sucrose have a substantially longer vase life than flowers held in water. Excision of the gynoecium does not affect the longevity of flowers in water; however, gynoecia excision did reduce flower longevity ...

Production, quality, and longevity of zinnia cultivated under silicate fertilization and water restriction [PDF]
The effects of water deficit and fertilization are fundamentals for productivity and quality of ornamental plants. This study evaluated the production, quality, and longevity of zinnia flower stems under irrigation levels and silicon doses.

Olfactory information use for foraging in "Microplitis mediator", a parasitoid of the cabbage moth "Mamestra brassicae" [PDF]
My PhD project was at the interface between behavioural ecology and biological control, two disciplines that do not easily intertwine because of their divergent aims.

Postharvest Treatments Improve Quality of Cut Peony Flowers
Peony is one of the most important ornamental plants in the international flower market, but has a relatively short vase life in water. This study tested the effects of 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (8-HQC) and nanosilver (NS) in combination with sucrose ...

Heliconia ‘Golden Torch’ postharvest: stem ends cutting and renewing vase water benefits
The postharvest longevity is one of the main aspects that should be considered in the production of cut flowers and is a pre-requisite for product quality and marketing success. However, cut flowers are highly perishable products that need to be treated

Synergistic Effect of Nano-Sliver with Sucrose on Extending Vase Life of the Carnation cv. Edun
We investigated the effects of sucrose and nano-silver (NAg) on extending the vase life of cut carnation flowers “Edun”. Sucrose (pulse treatment) suppressed ethylene production by downregulating the genes that code for its biosynthesis.
