“…In this work, our results focused on the significant positive responses of all recorded quality parameters when moonstone fresh cut roses were treated with S compared with NS holding solution. Pragya et al [ 28 ] and Young and Wan [ 43 ] reported that S provides a vital substrate for respiration as well as structural material and carbon skeletons for flower opening and mentioned that 2% S in the holding solution better regulated water uptake, water relations, and transpiration loss and improved the postharvest quality of cut roses, flower fresh weight, and flower opening and prolonged their vase life. It was found that S increased leaf photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids, and the anthocyanin content of fresh cut rose also improved the impact of cytokinin on the delay of floral senescence and decreased the effect of ethylene on prolonging flower vase life [ 44 , 45 ].…”

“…Two holding solutions, with or with no sucrose (S and NS, respectively) at 20 g/L, were used supplemented with MWCNTs alone, MWCNTs combined with 75 ppm GA 3 as a novel nano anti-senescence agent composite and GA 3 at 75 ppm alone (MWCNTs, MWCNTs/GA 3 75 composites and GA 3 75, respectively) employed at different concentrations with S as holding solution as follow (T1= Control; distilled water, T2= MWCNTs 10, T3= MWCNTs 20, T4= MWCNTs 30, T5= MWCNTs 40, T6= MWCNTs 50, T7= GA 3 75, T8= MWCNTs 10/GA 3 75 composites, T9= MWCNTs 20/GA 3 75 composites, T10= MWCNTs 30/GA 3 75 composites, T11= MWCNTs 40/GA 3 75 composites, and T12= MWCNTs 50/GA 3 75 composites ppm) the same concentrations were used without S, a total of 24 treatments, all were used as pulsing treatments for 24 h, silver nitrate AgNO 3 (Macsen Laboratories Rajasthan, India) at 10 ppm was added to both holding solutions to eliminate microorganisms growth [ 28 ]. The initial pH of the holding and the pulsing solutions were 7 - 7.2 and 6.2 - 6.5 respectively, both were adjusted by drops of citric acid to 5.8 ± 0.1 using a pH meter (211 Hanna Instruments, Cluj-Napoca, Romania).…”

The postharvest life of cut flowers is limited, which is a major challenge and varies greatly depending on plant varieties, cut flower stage, flower length of the harvested shoots, and storage conditions including postharvest treatments. As a result, improving the vase life and quality of cut flowers in regulating postharvest characteristics and overcoming these challenges is critical to the horticulture business. Novel engineered nanocomposites were created and tested for possible impacts on flower bud opening, postharvest life extension, longevity regulation, and preservation and enhancement of the strength and appearance of cut flowers. The experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment using a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor was two holding solutions (without or with sucrose at 20 gL−1). The second factor was 12 pulsing treatments for 24 h; distilled water as a control, 75 ppm GA3, multi-walled carbon nanotubes MWCNTs at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 ppm, and MWCNTs (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 ppm)/GA3 (75 ppm) composites; each treatment had 3 replicates, for a total of 72 experimental units. In the present study, gibberellic acid (GA3) was synthesized in functionalized (MWCNT/GA3 composites) as a novel antisenescence agent, and their effect on the vase life quality of cut rose flowers Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Moonstone’ was compared by assaying several parameters critical for vase life. The adsorption of GA3 on MWCNTs was proven by performing FTIR spectroscopy which ensures that the formation of the MWCNTs/GA3 composite preserves the nanostructure and was examined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The results revealed that sucrose in the holding solution showed a significant increase in fresh weight, flower diameter, and vase life by 10.5, 10.6, and 3.3% respectively. Applying sucrose with MWCNTs 20 ppm/GA3 75 ppm composites or MWCNTs 20 ppm alone, was critical for the significant increase in flower opening by 39.7 and 28.7%, and longevity by 34.4 and 23.2%, respectively, and significantly increased chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, anthocyanin, total phenolic content, and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity as compared to the control.

“…From the present experiment, it is evident that sucrose solution is effective in controlling transpiration loss of cut tuberoses. Earlier, Aryal et al (2019) observed that sucrose solution increased the vase life of roses by reducing transpiration loss and influencing water uptake. The high transpiration loss in the H 2 O 2 solution might be due to higher chemical stress and/or shortage of carbohydrates in the solutions, resulting in quicker wilting in this treatment when compared to others.…”

This experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of different preservative solutions on vase life and quality of angelica cut inflorescences cv. Single. The concentrations of citric acid at 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1, sucrose at 3% and 4% and H2O2 at 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% were used as preservatives, while distilled water was used as control. The single factor experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Citric acid and H2O2 solutions effectively inhibited bacterial growth-related blockage in the vascular tissues, but had adverse effects on the vase life. The inflorescences stored in sucrose (3% and 4%) solutions remained fresh up to 10 days after preservation (DAP), maintaining good solution uptake, controlling transpiration loss and gaining higher relative fresh weight. Different quality parameters like floret diameter and number of opened florets were also significantly higher in inflorescences preserved in sucrose (3% and 4%) solution, followed by control, citric acid and H2O2, respectively, in different DAP. Overall, the inflorescence of cut tuberose preserved in sucrose, particularly at 4% solutions, showed better postharvest quality than other preservatives and maximum vase life.

“…As a result, it is seen that sugar-containing solutions provide more solution intake in daily vase solution intake (Kumar and Deen, 2017). Aryal et al, (2019) and Kshirsagar et al, (2021) reported that sucrose-containing solutions promote water uptake in roses and decrease respiration and transpiration rate. In the study, it is thought that the excessive daily vase solution intake is evident in T8 and T11 applications and that similar results are obtained in studies on this subject due to the presence of sugar in the solutions.…”

Among the cut flowers, carnations are sensitive to ethylene. Therefore, the vase life is short and a negative situation arises in terms of marketing. Different chemical preservatives, herbal essential oils and growth regulators are used today to extend the post-harvest life of cut flowers. This study was conducted to determines the effects of single-use of some organic acids, chemical acids and essential oils and their combinations with sugar on postharvest life (vase life) of cut carnation flowers. Experiments were conducted in randomized plots design with three replications. Experimental treatments included: Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L), Ascorbic Acid (100 mg/L), Citric Acid (200 mg/L), Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L), Carvacrol (200 mg/L), Thymol (200 mg/L) and sugar-supplemented (10 g/L) combinations of these treatments. Measured parameters included: Vase life, relative fresh weight, daily vase solution uptake, total vase solution uptake, pH change, bacteria population and diagnosis of dominant bacteria. Among the present treatments, 200 mg/L citric acid treatment decreased the bacteria population, prevented blockage in the plant's stem section, and thus, promoted water uptake. Thus, the best outcomes in terms of vase life, total vase solution uptake and relative fresh weights were achieved with 200 mg/L citric acid treatment. It was also observed that Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) and Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) treatments yielded expected outcomes. Besides, non-sugar containing vase solutions yielded better outcomes than sugar-supplemented combinations. In terms of pH changes, decreases were observed in the final pH values of sugar-supplemented solutions compared to the initial pH values. Additionally, in present vase solutions, mostly Burkholderia cepacia species were diagnosed and also Pseudomonas antarctica, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Xanthomonas hortorum, Pseudomonas chlororaphis bacteria colonies were identified. As a result of the study, it is thought that 200 mg/L citric acid treatment and 100 mg/L salicylic acid + 10 g/L sugar treatment will contribute to cut flower and cut carnation producers and researchers working in this in the post-harvest field.
