“…In recent years, several gene-transfer procedures have been developed for some major commercial cut flowers (for reviews, see Zuker et al 1998;Vainstein 2002), but their application is still limited owing to the recalcitrant nature of established varieties of many ornamental species. However, in our laboratories, we have made considerable progress in designing cultivarindependent transformation methods for roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums (Bovy et al 1999;Visser et al 2000;Condliffe et al 2003aCondliffe et al , 2003bVisser et al 2005). In the case of carnations, the transgenic approach has already been shown to be successful.…”

Cell death is a common event in all types of plant organisms. Understanding the phenomenon of programmed cell death (PCD) is an important area of research for plant scientists because of its role in senescence and the post-harvest quality of ornamentals, fruits, and vegetables. In the present paper, PCD in relation to petal senescence in ornamental plants is reviewed. Morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes that are related to PCD in petals, such as water content, sink-source relationships, hormones, genes, and signal transduction pathways, are discussed. Several approaches to improving the quality of post-harvest ornamentals are reviewed and some prospects for future research are given.
