Flower development and senescence in Narcissus tazetta ‘Kashmir Local’
Folia Horticulturae, 2015 Flower development and senescence was studied in Narcissus tazetta ‘Kashmir Local’. Flower development was divided into six stages (I-VI), from the tight bud stage to the senescent stage.

Genomic approach to study floral development genes in Rosa sp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cultivated for centuries, the varieties of rose have been selected based on a number of flower traits. Understanding the genetic and molecular basis that contributes to these traits will impact on future improvements for this economically important ...

Postharvest physiology of cut flowers
Ornamental Horticulture, 2021 The longevity of cut flowers is limited by their ephemeral nature and by multiple stresses. Impairment in water uptake, depletion of stored carbohydrates, increases in both respiratory activity and ethylene production are signatures of flower senescence.

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022 Floral senescence or petal abscission that determine cut flower quality and longevity are primarily caused by the regulation of endogenous ethylene and perception of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in floral organs (such as the petals and gynoecium ...

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2013 A study was made to investigate differential responses of petal senescence and postharvest performance at varying concentrations of Cycloheximide (CHI) in cut spikes of Narcissus tazetta cv. Kashmir Local. Cycloheximide at 0.01 and 0.05 mM concentrations

Arabidopsis AGAMOUS Regulates Sepal Senescence by Driving Jasmonate Production
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The signal that initiates the age-regulated senescence program in flowers is still unknown. Here we propose for the ephemeral Arabidopsis thaliana flower that it dies because of continued expression of the MADS-box transcription factor AGAMOUS (AG).

Molecular characterization and functional analysis of two petunia PhEILs
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Ethylene plays an important role in flower senescence of many plants. Arabidopsis ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3) and its homolog EIL1 are the downstream component of ethylene signaling transduction.

Large flowers can be short‐lived: Insights from a high Andean cactus
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Long‐lived and large flowers signify high floral maintenance costs. Species of arid/semiarid climates with large flowers are expected to have short flower life spans and pollination‐induced flower longevity in order to curb high floral water and other ...
