University of Tehran Iranian Journal of Horticultural Science 2008-482X 42 4 2012 02 20 Effects of Hinokitiol, Humic acid, Sucrose, and Silver thiosulfate (STS) as a Short-Time (Pulsing) Treatment on Vase Life of Cut ‘Yelloween’ Lily Flowers Effects of Hinokitiol, Humic acid, Sucrose, and Silver thiosulfate (STS) as a Short-Time (Pulsing) Treatment on Vase Life of Cut ‘Yelloween’ Lily Flowers 393 402 24233 FA Leyla Keshavarzi Esmaeil Chamani Journal Article 1970 01 01 In order to investigate the effects of Hinokitiol (0.1, 1, 5 and 10 Micromolar), Humic acid (100, 500. 1000 and 10000 ppm), Sucrose (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 percent), and Silver Thiosulphate (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mM) treatments on longevity and some quality characteristics of cut yelloween lily flowers, an experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design of two replications (time) in the Postharvest Laboratory of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. The results indicated that Silver Thiusulfate at o.25 to 1 mM increased the vase life of cut lily as compared with control and other treatments. Hinokitiol at 5-10 Mm decreased the vase life of the flower up to 2.4 days. The applied treatments, except for their higher concentrations, increased the uptake of in-vase solution, maintaining their relative fresh weight. Humic acid, a substitute with Cytokinin-like activity, markedly extended leaf longevity. In other words, a pulse treatment of the flower with 1000 ppm humic acid was found out as the most suitable treatment in preventing the flower from leaf yellowing under the general experimental conditions.
