Postharvest life of cut gerbera flowers as affected by salicylic acid and citric acid
Effect of salicylic acid (SA) combined with citric acid (CA) on gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) cut flowers was studied. The study was conducted in a factorial arrangement, carried out in a complete randomized design. The factors were SA (0.5,1.5 and 3 mM) and CA (1.5 and 3 mM). The effects of treatment...

| description | Effect of salicylic acid (SA) combined with citric acid (CA) on gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) cut flowers was studied. The study was conducted in a factorial arrangement, carried out in a complete randomized design. The factors were SA (0.5,1.5 and 3 mM) and CA (1.5 and 3 mM). The effects of treatments on the total chlorophyll content, anthocyanin leakage and malondialdehyde content of cut flowers of gerbera were investigated. The results showed that the vase solution containing 1.5 mM SA significantly increased vase life compared to the control. In addition, the malondialdehyde accumulation reduced in the same solution while membrane stability was improved. Results suggest that SA increases vase life by affecting many of the age-related changes associated with Gerbera petal senescence. |
