“…The post-harvest quality of cut flowers is one of the characteristics that is greatly affected by unfavourable environmental conditions and inappropriate transport facilities and schedules. Conditions of undesired handling or no/improper management accelerate precocious senescence and deterioration of cut flower quality (Salunkhe et al 1990;Hettiarachchi & Balas 2003). To evaluate the effect of SA on gladiolus post-harvest characteristics under simulated transport, SA was applied before or after simulated transport to local market.…”

“…However, cut flowers stored for zero and 6 days recorded an increase in this regardwhen compared to the long storage period of 12 days in both seasons.These results are in line with those obtained by Abd El-Sadek (2005) on gypsophila cut flowers and Jadhav (2018) on rose, gerbera, gladiolus, tuberose and carnation. Hettiarachchi and Balas (2005) stated that cold storage at 4 °C maintained good flower quality during the vase of cut Kniphofia uvaria flowers.…”

To improve keeping quality of gerbera cv. Marleen cut flowers this work was conducted at the laboratories of Hort. Dept., Agric. Fac., Mansoura Univ., Egypt during January to February months of 2016 and 2017 seasons. This, by using pulsing and holding solutions and cold storage periods for different durations as well as their interaction treatments, besides, studying these treatments affects on cut flowers vase life, water balance, anthocyanin content and total sugars percentage of gerbera flowers. The used pulsing solution treatments were control as distilled water (DW), 5% sucrose (S) + 200 ppm 8-hydroxy quinolene sulphate (8-HQS) for 16 hours, 15 ppm kinitin (Kin) + 5 % S + 200 ppm 8-HQS for 16 hours, silver thiosulphate (STS) 1:4 mM for 20 minutes then placed in 5 % S + 200 ppm 8-HQS for 16 hours and 1:4 mM STS for 20 minutes then placed in 25 ppm Kin + 5 % S + 200 ppm 8-HQS for 16 hours. Moreover, cut flowers of gerbera were stored at 5±1˚C for 0, 6 and 12 days. In addition, holding solution treatments used after cold storage periods were controlas distilled water (DW) and 5% sucrose (S) + 200 ppm 8-HQS + 200 ppm ascorbic acid (AA), besides to the interaction treatments between them. The obtained results referred to that, the longest vase life of gerbera cut flowers were achieved by STS+S + 8-HQS for 16 hours as pulsing solution and storage at 5±1˚C for 0-time which followed by 6 days and holding solution under study compared to the other interactions. Also, the highest values of water balance were obtained with the same treatment at 0-time storage. Finally, the best data regard anthocyanin content and total sugars percentage were observed with pulsing solutions and storage at 6 days plus 5% S + 200 ppm 8-HQS + 200 ppm AA as holding solution.

“…These results are in harmony with those obtained by Song et al, (1992) on gladiolus cut flower spikes, Reid et al, (2001) on tuberose cut flower spikes and Abd El-Sadek (2005) on gypsophila cut flowers. Hettiarachchi and Balas (2005) stated that cold storage at 4 °C maintained good flower quality during the vase of cut Kniphofia uvaria flowers.…”

Such research was conducted during the two seasons of 2007and 2008 at the Hort. Lab. Dept., Fac. Agric., Zagazig Univ. to evaluate effects of five preservative solutions as pulsing applications and three cold storage periods as well as their interactions on vase life and quality of Strelitzia reginae L cut flower spikes. Pulsing treatments were implicated holding cut flower spikes in the following solutions: 1-Distilled water (dw) for 12 h as control, 2-Silver thiosulphate at 1: 4 mM (STS)for 30 minutes, 3-STS for 30 min., then solution containing 20% sucrose (S) + 200 ppm Ocimum basilicum L leaf extract for 12 h, 4-STS for 30 min., then solution containing 20% S + 200 ppm Matricaria chamomilla L. flower extract for 12 h, and 5-STS for 30 min., then solution containing 20% S + 200 ppm 8-hydroxy quinolene sulphate (8-HQS) for 12 h. Cut flowers were subjected to pulsing treatments just before cold storage. The three tested cold storage periods were without cold storage (control), storage for 5 or 10-days at 6±1°C and 80 -90 % relative humidity (simulate transport conditions). After subjecting flowers to pulsing and storage treatments, treated cut flower spikes were hold in distilled water as permanent vase solution to record the effects on vase life.All tested pulsing solutions significantly increased vase life and florets opening %, decreased contamination in vase solution, improved water balance for cut flower spikes, and maintained flower quality; i.e., anthocyanin content in petals. Pulsing treatment of STS at 1: 4 mM for 30 minutes, then in solution containing 20 % S + 200 ppm 8-HQS for 12 hours had the most favorable effect in this respect.As the cold storage period was increased from zero-time to 10days, the above mentioned characters of cut flower longevity and quality were decreased.When pulsing applications interacted with cold storage periods, the highest quality and the longest vase life of Strelitzia reginae L. cut flower spikes were obtained under the interaction treatments of pulsing 398 GENDY AND HAMAD Atividade antibacteriana de óleos essenciais Pereira RS et al in STS for 30 min. and then in 20% S + 200 ppm 8-HQS for 12 hours without cold storage or with storage for 5-days at 6±1°C compared to control and the other interaction treatments.
