Production Factors Affecting the Longevity and Quality of Flowering Plants [PDF]
HortScience, 1995 The quality and longevity of flowering potted plants and cut flowers are affected by the cultivar grown and cultural practices used during production. Preharvest factors may account for 70% of the life of flowering plants. Longevity is directly related to the cultivar grown.

Differential effects of flower feeding in an insect host–parasitoid system
, 2007 In many insect host–parasitoid systems, both the host and its parasitoids forage on shared floral resources. As a result of insect behaviour, morphology and physiology, flower species may act selectively at different levels of such systems, e.g., between

The Effect of Floral ReTain™ (Aminoethoxyvinylglycine, AVG) Application on Flower Longevity, Ethylene Generation, Pollen Tube Growth and Yield in Arbequina Olives (Olea Europaea) [PDF]
, 2021 Olives (Olea europaea L.) produce abundant flowers, but only a small subset persist as fruits. We hypothesize that the low fruit set to flower ratio is due to the short ovule longevity.

The effects of supplemental nitrogen and calcium on the quality and postharvest life of cut gerbera
Ornamental Horticulture, 2019 The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca), complementary to the complete fertilization established, on production, quality and postharvest shelf life of floral stems of gerbera as cut flower harvested ...

Sit-and-wait pollination in the spring flowering woodland plant, Trillium grandiflorum
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2011 In animal-pollinated plants, reproductive success is commonly limited by pollen availability, which can occur in environments where pollinator activity is scarce or variable. Extended floral longevity to maximize a plant’s access to pollinators may be an

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2015 The aim of the experiment was to evaluate effects of gibberellic acid and the standard preservative (composed of 8HQC and sucrose) on keeping qualities of cut lily flowering shoots (L. longiflorum × Asiatic hybrid, ‘Richmond’). These effects were tested

EXTENDING THE VASE LIFE OF CUT CLEMATIS FLOWERS
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017 Clematis is a popular vine with showy flowers therefore there is an increasing interest in growing it for cut flowers. The results of trials – carried out for over a decade – on vase life of 54 clematis taxa are presented.
