Abstract:The effects of gellan gum gels and Murashige and Skoog (MS) inorganic salts at various strengths on the vase life of 'Rote Rose' rose cut flowers were investigated. To form the gels, gellan gum was dissolved with MS salts at various concentrations. To simulate the transport of cut rose flowers, stems were placed in gellan gum gels and held at 23°C for 24 h or 48 h. Cut flowers were then transferred into distilled water and their fresh weight (FW) and vase life were determined. According to the observed vase li… Show more
