Publication Name: Acta Horticulturae
Publication Date: 2010-11-11
Volume: 877
Issue: Unknown
Page Range: 291-296
Description:
The effect of 1-MCP on rose cultivar 'Bordeaux' was studied in the case of different preservative solutions. The flowers were treated with 1-MCP for 6 hours at 17°C and for 18 hours on 4°C. The diameter of flowers and the vase life proved to be better with the treatment of 18 hours. The best result was achieved, when the flowers were treated with 1-MCP (18 hours) in Spring solution. In this case 11,2 days was the vase life compared to control 8,25 days, that way the vase life was extended with 3 days.

Effect of different treatments on vase life of carnation 'Gioko'
Publication Name: Acta Horticulturae
Publication Date: 2010-11-11
Volume: 877
Issue: Unknown
Page Range: 1757-1762
Description:
The effect of 1-MCP combined with Clorox and sucrose was studied. Cut flowers of Dianthus caryophyllus 'Gioko' were treated with 1-MCP 0.5 g m -3 for 6 hours at 20°C. Clorox in 2 ml L-1 and sucrose 10-50 g L-1 concentration was added. The treatments with 1-MCP increased the vase life with 5 days, and the sucrose in low concentrations improved the ornamental quality of the flowers. The SPAD values increased till the 6th day. The 1-MCP treatments gave much better results compared to the control and Spring as well, and it seems to be possible to replace Spring with 1-MCP treatment.
