Floral senescence or petal abscission that determine cut flower quality and longevity are primarily caused by the regulation of endogenous ethylene and perception of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in floral organs(...Floral senescence or petal abscission that determine cut flower quality and longevity are primarily caused by the regulation of endogenous ethylene and perception of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in floral organs(such as the petals and gynoecium),in ethylene-sensitive species.Several attempts have been made to prolong flower quality and longevity using silver ions and other chemicals that inhibit ethylene production and perception in floral organs.Among the available compounds,1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)has been increasingly used as ethylene-action/perception inhibitor because of its ability to inhibit ethylene action/perception and it is environmentally safe.Although 1-MCP has been used in several cut flower crops for about 25 years,there has been no review yet that critically emphasizes the benefits or difficulties of using this compound for the prolongation of cut flower quality and longevity.Here,we outline the role of 1-MCP in inhibiting ethylene action/perception and petal senescence in cut flowers through the blocking of receptor binding sites,and we discuss how various factors affecting efficacy of 1-MCP(such as concentration,treatment time and temperature,genotype,and flower stage)are involved in the achievement of flower longevity.Moreover,we highlight the advantages of applying nonvolatile and liquid 1-MCP formulation types,as opposed to using the conventional 1-MCP treatment(powder formulation type).We expect that this review will provide useful information for the future utilization of 1-MCP for the maintenance of cut flower longevity.展开更多

The best frequency of callusing was obtained from leaf segments (3-5 mm) cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 2 mg?L–1 2,4-D and 2 mg?L–1 BA combination. A negative effect of coconut water was ob-served on the callus induction medium. When callus lines no. 4, 6 and 8 induced from leaf segments were sub-cultured separately on ? MS and MS media containing AC (1-3 g?L–1), formation of somatic embryos was found. However, percentages of embryo formation and the number of embryos per explants were strongly affected by media and callus lines used. The effect of 1/2 MS media is definitely better than MS medium for somatic embryogenesis from the selected lines of leaf derived callus. Among the callus lines, line no. 4 is the best for somatic embryogenesis followed by line no. 6 and 8. The somatic embryos converted into healthy plants with well developed shoots on the same media. The plant-lets were transferred to 1/2 MS medium containing 1 g?L–1 AC for plant regeneration until 8 weeks of culture and successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse.展开更多
