Yue Wang, Dong Huaqiang, Yuejin Chen, Lin Yin-feng

Abstract

In whole cut flowers of gladiolus (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.), 0 1 mg/kg 1-MCP treatment markedly delayed shrivel of petals and wither of flowers. The treated flowers stayed turgid and the vase-holding life was longer compared with untreated flowers. Further Studies showed that 1-MCP treatment could increase open rate,Viewing and admiration value of gladiolus, flowers decreese wilting percentage,moreover,1-MCP treatment could affect the content of protein and chlorophyll in petals either.relative permeability of petal plasma membrane, which is a reliable indicator of petal membrane senescence , was retarded in 1-MCP treated flowers.
