“…Normally, hybrids with higher ethylene production (DDG) have shorter vase life than hybrids with lower ethylene production (MCJ) and vice versa. This observation is in conformity with the results of Wu et al (1991) and Onozaki et al (2001) on carnation, which reported that various cultivars displayed different vase lives and those cultivars with low ethylene production, had a longer vase life. Pretreatment with 1-MCP also prolonged vase life of the cut orchid flowers by about three days compared with control (Table 1).…”

Orchids possess a very special place amongst ornamental plants. But high ethylene sensitivity and early flower senescence of orchid result in a short vase life and rapid quality deterioration which is of great concern for the growers, traders and consumers. An attempt was made to study the influence of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) (0 and 300 nL L ) in prolonging vase life and maintaining quality of two cut orchid hybrids Dendrobium 'Darren Glory' (DDG) and Mokara "Calypso Jumbo" (MCJ). Results showed that orchid hybrids exhibited differences in their ethylene sensitivity, vase life, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content and ACC oxidase activities. Pre-treatment with 1-MCP resulted in reduced ethylene production, vase life, ACC content and ACC oxidase activities, but increased bud opening %. Pre-treatment with аquеous ozone failed to influence all those parameters except bud opening %. Interaction effects of hybrid and 1-MCP were significant for ethylene production, hybrid and ozone for vas life, 1-MCP and ozone for bud opening %, and hybrid, 1-MCP and ozone for ethylene production and vase life. Aqueous ozone markedly contributed to the inhibition of microbial growth in vase solution. Pre-treatment of the cut orchid flowers with 300 nL L -1 1-MCP, followed by using 5.2 mg L -1 aqueous ozone as the vase solution could be recommended to maintain quality and extend vase life of both the DDG and MCJ orchid hybrids.

“…Breeding programs with Dianthus caryophyllus have confirmed that ethylene sensitivity is a heritable trait (Woltering et al, 1993;Onozaki et al, 2001). In some Chamelaucium intra-and interspecific and intergeneric crosses, sensitivity of the progeny to ethyleneinduced flower abscission may be related to the sensitivity of the parents.…”

“…The carnation flower is also highly sensitive to exogenous ethylene (Onozaki et al, 2001) but the response to ethylene exposure also depends on cultivars. Some long-life cultivars, such as 'Chinera' and 'Epomeo', have lower ethylene sensitivities than that of the normal Sim-type cultivar 'White Sim' (Wu et al, 1991).…”

Vase life is one of the most important characters of postharvest cut flower quality. The onset of ethylene production and the amount of ethylene produced by flowers vary with the carnation cultivar, and thus influence their vase life. In the present study, differences in ethylene production and the response to exogenous ethylene among carnation cultivars were evaluated. Ten different cultivars: 'Baltico', 'Domingo', 'Exotica', 'Famosa', 'Kiro', 'Madame Augier', 'Master', 'Mundo', Pilar' and 'Reina' were studied. Five flowers for each cultivar were exposed for 8 hours to 1 µL L -1 exogenous ethylene concentration. Ethylene production, fresh weight and water uptake was measured daily throughout the experiments. The 10 different cultivars studied showed clear differences in vase life, ethylene production, onset time in ethylene production and response to exogenous ethylene. The shortest vase life was for 'Exotica' flowers which was only 11.6 days, while 'Baltico' and 'Pilar' lasted 2.5-3 times longer than 'Exotica'. Most of the investigated cultivars showed notable increases in the amount of ethylene. However, 'Baltico' and 'Pilar' flowers produced only a trace amount of ethylene and had the longest vase life. Results showed that cultivars with a long vase life ('Baltico' and 'Pilar') display high ethylene responsiveness and, in contrast, cultivars with a short vase life ('Exotica' and 'Mundo') present low responsiveness. The decline in fresh weight of cut flowers observed in the last phase of their vase life occurred earlier in short-lived cultivars than in the longer-lived ones.Additional key words: exposure to ethylene; fresh weight; petal in-rolling; water uptake and wilting.
