“…Taken together, 1‐MCP treatment can reduce CI, flower abscission and wilting, thus extending vase life. The efficacy of 1‐MCP treatment, however, depends on cultivar, concentration, temperature, and treatment time (Almasi & Mohamed, 2020; Naing et al., 2022).…”

Dendrobium, one of the largest genera of tropical orchids, is grown commercially on a large scale with an important economic impact in several ASEAN countries.Dendrobium orchids can be grown in a wide range of climates, but flower production is best under tropical conditions. Due to being the most popular orchid for cut flower production, many hybrids of Dendrobium have been produced with colorful and attractive blooms. Cut flowers of Dendrobium are popular worldwide. In addition, many Dendrobium cultivars can be grown as flowering potted plants and for other purposes such as in medicinal applications and for use in decorative products. Postharvest physiology and technology are important in maintaining the quality of both cut flowers and potted plants from production sites to the marketplace. Plants of the Dendrobium genus also contain a wide diversity of bioactive compounds that can be developed into medicinal and cosmetic products. This review describes the botany, cultivation, postharvest physiology, handling and utilization of Dendrobium.

“…The global floricultural industry is nowadays a multi-billiondollar enterprise in constant growth and with international dimensions (Naing et al, 2022). Consumers are becoming more interested in flower quality and longevity (Darras, 2021); however, during long trade transportation, qualitative characteristics can be compromised by eventual ethylene exposure, causing early petal and bud abscission.…”

“…Consumers are becoming more interested in flower quality and longevity (Darras, 2021); however, during long trade transportation, qualitative characteristics can be compromised by eventual ethylene exposure, causing early petal and bud abscission. Therefore, appropriate control of storage conditions (temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions) (Fernandes et al, 2020) and postharvest treatments, which include different chemical or organic substances, can be adopted (van Doorn et al, 2011;da Costa et al, 2015;da Costa et al, 2021;Sun et al, 2022) to meet consumers' preference for prolonged flower longevity and freshness (Naing et al, 2022). The inhibition of ethylene perception in flowers can represent a powerful instrument to prolong their longevity.…”

“…Silver thiosulfate (STS) was one of the first chemical compounds utilized for this purpose. However, the release of silver ions also represents a serious concern to the environment and public health because of their toxicity (van Doorn et al, 2011;Naing et al, 2022). 1methylcyclopropene (1-MCPchemical formula C 4 H 6 ) was discovered in 1995 and it is a non-toxic gaseous compound which inhibits ethylene action by binding itself to hormone receptors in an irreversible manner: the ability of 1-MCP to bind receptors is ten times greater compared to ethylene (Blankenship and Dole, 2003;Ferrante and Francini, 2006;Naing et al, 2022).…”

Postharvest strategies for preventing flower wilting and leaf yellowing in cut Ranunculus flowers

et al. 2023

IntroductionAppropriate postharvest treatment, as well as adequate conditions of storage, can be adopted to elongate the lifespan of cut flowers. Thidiazuron (TDZ), a substituted phenylurea, and 1-methylcycloproene (1-MCP), a non-toxic inhibitor of ethylene perception, are nowadays substances commonly used to prevent early damage caused by senescence and to delay chlorophyll degradation. Ranunculus asiaticus L. is cultivated for cut flower production and is highly sensitive to ethylene and leaf yellowing. In this study, the effect of different pulse-tratment in prolonging cut ranunculus vase life was analyzed.MethodsTDZ 10 µM, 1-MCP 500 ppb, and a combination of both were applied for 24 hours after harvest. The effect of the treatments was evaluated by performing non-destructive (% loss of fresh weight, chlorophyll a fluorescence, in vivo chlorophyll content, and Nitrogen Flavonol Index – NFI) and destructive (chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins concentration, and phenolic index) analyses at 0, 1, 12, and 14 days from treatments. Results and DiscussionFlower wilting was delayed by 4 days in 1-MCP + TDZ 10 µM treatments, which also reduced weight loss and chlorophyll degradation compared to controls. The effectiveness of these compounds in preventing senescence has been confirmed by the decreased biosynthesis of phenolic compounds.

Abscission in plants: from mechanism to applications

Abscission refers to the natural separation of plant structures from their parent plants, regulated by external environmental signals or internal factors such as stress and aging. It is an advantageous process as it enables plants to shed unwanted organs, thereby regulating nutrient allocation and ensuring the dispersal of fruits and seeds from the parent. However, in agriculture and horticulture, abscission can severely reduce crop quality and yield. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in plant abscission from the perspectives of developmental and molecular biology, emphasizing the diverse regulatory networks across different plant lineages, from model plants to crops. The sophisticated process of plant abscission involves several overlapping steps, including the differentiation of the abscission zone, activation of abscission, tissue detachment, and formation of a protective layer. Finally, we discuss the potential applications of physiological modifications and genetic manipulations of plant abscission in sustainable agriculture in the future.
