Extension of the vase life of cut sunflower by different vase solutions [PDF]
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) as a cut flower has been an increasing demand in floral industry. However, its vase life is limited because of scape bending, abscission and early wilting of ray flowers. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different vase solutions on the vase life of cut sunflower ‘Sunrich Orange’.

Curcuma alismatifolia vase life [PDF]
Cut curcuma stem has a reported vase life of 7 to 21 days and this difference in vase life is probably due to a combination of different factors such as growing conditions and postharvest treatments. However, the cut flower industry needs key postharvest information for new species and cultivars to be able to effectively market the flowers.

Nanobubbles in vase water inhibit transpiration and prolong the vase life of cut chrysanthemum flowers. [PDF]
AbstractNanobubble (NB) water has been shown to promote the growth of several types of plants and animals, but the mechanism underlying this promoting effect remains unclear. The present study evaluated the mechanism by which NBs maintain the freshness of cut flowers by keeping cut chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) flowers at the bud ...

1-MCP SHORTENS PEONY VASE LIFE
Ethylene action and synthesis inhibitors were evaluated for their effects on cut peony flower longevity and quality. Field-grown 'Karl Rosenfield' and 'Sarah Bernhardt' cut peony flowers were treated for two hours with either 0.5 mM silver thiosulfate (STS) or 0.60 μl L -1 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP) ethylene action inhibitors, Floralife ® (FLO) at ...

Breeding of carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) for long vase life. [PDF]
Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the main floricultural crops in Japan and worldwide. The vase life of cut ornamental flowers, including carnations, is important in determining their quality and consumers' preference. To improve the vase life of carnation flowers, my group started a breeding research program in 1992 using conventional ...
