TL;DR: Cut leaves of Zantedeschia aethiopica with aqueous solutions of gibberellic acid considerably extended their display life, whether applied as a 24 h pulse treatment, or as a brief postharvest dip, and leaf senescence was associated with changes in characteristics of the cell sap, namely increased pH and electrical conductivity.

TL;DR: Gibberellic acid was more effective than benzyladenine in delaying senescence of both Zantedeschia species leaves by retarding chlorophyll loss, but in both species the preservative diminished the positive effect of GA3 treatment on final chlorophyLL content.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine whether the selected chemical agents can be used to preserve post-harvest quality in asparagus greens and whether the effects differed widely depending on the taxon in question.

TL;DR: Growth regulators somewhat limited free amino acid accumulation in leaves held in the preservative, BA being more effective in Z. elliottiana while GA3 in Z aethiopica is more effective, however, range of these increases did not correspond to decreases in protein con- tents.

TL;DR: Hosta 'Blue Angel' shoots storage conditions didn't affect rooting efficiency and the quality of roots produced by microcuttings, and the highest number of axillary shoots was obtained during the first passage after storage, irrespectively of storage length and conditions.
