Postharvest transient water deficit limits longevity of cut Dendrobium 'Khao Sanan' orchid

Chawisa Sukpitak et al.

Summary: A temporary water deficit after harvest can negatively affect the quality and vase life of orchids by inducing early flower senescence and increasing ethylene production. Furthermore, exposure to water deficit also leads to oxidative stress and the accumulation of antioxidant enzymes and osmolytes in the flowers. Despite the recovery of water content and other parameters, ethylene production remains high after rewatering.

Physiological and biochemical changes during flower development and senescence in Chrysanthemum and Gladiolus

Shalini Jhanji et al.

Summary: The duration of flowering and post-harvest life of flowers are influenced by their senescence. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical changes that occur during the transition from floral bud to senescent flower in Chrysanthemum and Gladiolus. It was found that chemical manipulation at the loose bud stage or partially opened flower stage could delay senescence and improve the post-harvest performance of Chrysanthemum and Gladiolus flowers.
