  • Efficacy of inhibitors of ethylene binding in improvement of the postharvest characteristics of Potted Flowering Plants
    Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Margrethe Serek, Edward C. Sisler
    Abstract:

    Pre-treatment of Potted Plants of Campanula carpatica cultivars Dark Blue and Blue Clips and Schlumbergera truncata cultivar Dark Marie with the volatile ethylene binding inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) inhibited the effects of exogenous ethylene (bud abscission and wilting of flowers). In an ethylene-free simulated interior environment, display life of the 1-MCP treated Plants was unaffected (Campanula) or slightly greater (Schlumbergera) than that of the controls, although not as good as that of Plants pre-treated with the anionic silver thiosulfate complex (STS). Differences in effects of both blockers of ethylene binding sites are discussed.

  • Novel Gaseous Ethylene Binding Inhibitor Prevents Ethylene Effects in Potted Flowering Plants
    Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1994
    Co-Authors: Margrethe Serek, Edward C. Sisler, Michael S. Reid
    Abstract:

    A 6-hour fumigation of Flowering Begonia ×elatior hybrida Fotsch. 'Najada' and ' Rosa', B. ×tuberhybrida Voss. 'Non-Stop', Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. 'Tropicana', and Rosa hybrida L. 'Victory Parade' Plants with 1-MCP, (formerly designated as SIS-X), a gaseous nonreversible ethylene binding inhibitor, strongly inhibited exogenous ethylene effects such as bud and flower drop, leaf abscission, and accelerated flower senescence. The inhibitory effects of 1-MCP increased linearly with concentration, and at 20 nl·liter -1 this compound gave equal protection to that afforded by spraying the Plants with a 0.5 STS mM solution. Chemical names used: 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), silver thiosulfate (STS). here the results of tests of the efficacy of 1-MCP in preventing ethylene effects on the display quality and shelf life of Potted Flowering Plants.

  • Horticultural Reviews - Postharvest Biology and Technology of Cut Flowers and Potted Plants
    Horticultural Reviews, 2012
    Co-Authors: Michael S. Reid, Caizhong Jiang
    Abstract:

    The relatively brief postharvest life of most cut flowers and Potted Flowering Plants can be extended by a range of technologies. Studies have shown that vase life is negatively correlated with respiration after harvest, so prompt cooling to the lowest safe storage temperature is a key to long-distance transport of these perishable crops. Forced air cooling is the method of choice for cut flowers, and vacuum cooling has been shown to be very effective for cooling Potted Plants. In contrast to some other horticultural crops, controlled and modified atmospheres seem to have little effect on petal respiration, and these techniques have not proved commercially useful in the marketing of many cut flowers. Low temperatures are also important in managing the effect of other factors contributing to early senescence, including water loss, the effects of ethylene, leaf yellowing, and the growth of diseases, particularly caused by Botrytis cinerea. Ornamentals originating in the tropics and subtropics cannot be cooled below 10 � C because they rapidly show the symptoms of chilling injury. Chemical strategies to improve the life of ornamentals include the application of abscisic acid to reduce water loss, particularly in Potted and bedding Plants, pretreatment with the volatile ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to prevent the

  • A Comparison of Attitudes and Practices among Sectors of the Oklahoma Floriculture Industry
    HortTechnology, 1993
    Co-Authors: John M. Dole, Michael A. Schnelle
    Abstract:

    Oklahoma floriculture producers, ornamental-horticulture retailers, mass-market retailers, and cut-flower wholesalers were surveyed to compare and contrast the industry in terms of attitudes towards their products and problems. Overall, attitudes of all four segments of the industry were neutral to negative on Potted Flowering Plants, but were positive to neutral on bedding and foliage Plants. However, producers were slightly negative concerning the postharvest life of bedding Plants. While cut-flower wholesalers had a positive attitude concerning cut flowers, ornamental-horticulture retailers and mass-marketers tended to be neutral to negative. In particular, retailers and mass-marketers believed that cut flowers were too expensive and too short-lived. Floral preservatives were

  • A COMPARISON OF ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES AMONG SECTORS OF THE FLORICULTURAL INDUSTRY
    HortScience, 1992
    Co-Authors: John M. Dole, Michael A. Schnelle
    Abstract:

    Floricultural producers, cut flower wholesalers, mass market retailers and general retailers were surveyed to compare and contrast the industry in terms of attitudes and problems. Questions involved general business information, as well as specific crops. Overall, all four segments of the industry were neutral to negative on Potted Flowering Plants, but were positive to neutral on bedding and foliage Plants. However, producers were slightly negative concerning the postharvest life of bedding Plants. While cut flower wholesalers had a positive attitude concerning cut flowers, retailers and mass marketers tended to be neutral to negative. In particular, retailers and mass marketers felt cut flowers were too expensive and too short lived. Floral preservatives were used by 81.6% of general retailers, while only 18.8% of mass market retailers used preservatives. All cut flower wholesalers used preservatives. Capital availability and market demand were the factors most limiting to expansion for producers and general retailers; mass market firms listed competition as their most limiting factor. Results from other questions will also be provided.
