Abstract

Physiological effects of 6-BA and KT on senescence of cut carnation(Dianthus caryophyllus) flowers were studied.The result indicated,6-BA and KT could improve water balance,increase fresh weight and diameter of cut flowers,inhibit POD activity,delay the degradation rate of protein,the enhancement of MDA contents and the composition rate of O·_2~- during vase-holding of cut flowers.The vase-holding life was prolonged 2 or 3 days.
