The effects of pulsing with 2% dimethyl sulfoxide and wet cool storage
(4 deg C) for 1-5 days on the postharvest life and quality of rose
cultivars Noblesse and Mercedes were determined. The vase life of both
rose cultivars subjected to pulsing and wet cool storage was higher
compared to that of the control. In general, water uptake and flower
diameter of the cut flowers subjected to pulsing and wet cool storage
decreased with storage duration, but were higher compared to those of
the control. |
