Journal ArticleDOI
The Action of Kinetin in Improving the Water Balance and Delaying Senescence Processes of Cut Rose Flowers
Shimon Mayak,Abraham H. Halevy +1 more
TL;DR: Using leafless flower shoots, kinetin slowed down processes associated with both senescence and stress (RNase activity and dry weight reduction), and maintained petal turgidity for an extended period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposing effects of abscisic acid on senescence of rose flowers
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological Responses of Cut Rose Flowers to Exposure to Low Temperature: Changes in Membrane Permeability and Ethylene Production
John D. Faragher,Shimon Mayak +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Aminooxyacetic acid as an inhibitor of ethylenesynthesis and senescence in carnation flowers
Rachel Broun,Shimon Mayak +1 more
TL;DR: The data are in agreement with the proposal that aminooxyacetic acid inhibits C2H4 biosynthesis, and the inhibitor had a slight delaying effect on the response of the flowers to exposure to C 2H4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined effects of abscisic acid and sucrose on growth and senescence of rose flowers
TL;DR: It is suggested that one way by which ABA accelerates senescence of cut roses is by promoting petal growth and respiration, thus decreasing the carbohydrate level in the petals and triggering the chain of metabolic processes leading to aging.
