With the aim of extending vase life of cut dahlia flowers, we investigated the postharvest characteristics of the flowers. Our focus was on the role of ethylene on senescence and on treatments that have extended vase life of other flowers. Continuous exposure to ethylene at 2 or 10 μL L−1 significantly accelerated petal abscission in cut flowers. Flowers continuously immersed in 1 or 10 μL L−1 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA) solution wilted earlier than those treated with distilled water (DW) or 0.15 g L−1 citric acid. Ethylene production from the ovary and ray petal was relatively high (4.5 and 0.9 nL g−1 fresh weight h−1, respectively) at harvest, but decreased gradually over 5 days. No remarkable increase in ethylene production was observed during senescence. Silver thiosulfate complex (STS), an inhibitor of ethylene action, did not extend the vase life of cut flowers, although a high silver concentration was detected in flower organs. In contrast, pulse treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and dip treatment with 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) extended the vase life of florets, and BA was more effective than 1-MCP when the flowers were held in both DW and CEPA. BA spray treatment extended vase life of cut ‘Kokucho,’ ‘Kamakura’ and ‘Michan’ flowers. These results suggest that dahlia flower senescence is partially regulated by ethylene, and BA is more effective in delaying the senescence of cut dahlia flowers than ethylene action inhibitors. 相似文献

Effects of ethylene, pollination, and ethylene inhibitor treatments on flower senescence of gentians
Flower senescence of the potted gentian (Gentiana scabra) ‘Shinbisei’ was investigated in relation to ethylene sensitivity and production. ‘Shinbisei’ flowers were used for all experiments except for those with inflorescences. Exposure to ethylene at 0.5 μL L−1 or higher concentrations for 24 h markedly accelerated flower senescence, indicating that G. scabra flowers are highly sensitive to ethylene. Treatment with 0.2 or 0.5 mM silver thiosulfate complex (STS) and 2 μL L−1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), ethylene action inhibitors, and 50 mM α-aminoisobutyric acid, an inhibitor of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase, did not delay flower senescence. However, treatment with 1 mM l-α-(2-aminoethoxyvinyl) glycine, an inhibitor of ACC synthase, slightly delayed flower senescence. Pollination significantly accelerated petal senescence of G. scabra flowers. Ethylene production of petals, gynoecium, and stamens in unpollinated flowers slightly increased during senescence. Pollination significantly increased ethylene production of petals, gynoecium and stamens 1 day after pollination. To clarify whether 1-MCP delays senescence of cut gentian inflorescences, cut G. scabra ‘Yuki-hotaru’, G. scabra × Gentiana triflora ‘Aoi-kaze’, and G. triflora ‘Koharu’ inflorescences with various stages of flowers, including buds with colored petals, were treated with 2 μL L−1 1-MCP for 24 h. 1-MCP treatment delayed flower wilting of cut inflorescences of ‘Aoi-kaze’ and ‘Yuki-hotaru’ more than that of ‘Koharu’, suggesting that there is species variation in the effect of 1-MCP in delaying flower senescence of cut gentian inflorescences. 相似文献

Ethylene-mediated premature floral senescence and petal or flower abscission affect postharvest longevity of several species used as cut flowers. Exposure to exogenous or endogenously produced ethylene can be controlled in several ways. These include the use of ethylene biosynthesis inhibitors or ethylene action inhibitors, and ethylene removal technologies. In addition, genetic modification can be very effective in controlling ethylene synthesis and perception. We review here the potential for applications of nanotechnology to control ethylene levels and postharvest management in the flower industry. Already, nanosponges have been shown to enhance efficacy of the ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP in several flower species. In carnation, 1-MCP included in nanosponges also allowed better control of Botrytis cinerea damage. However other applications are also considered based on successes in the use of this technology to increase agricultural production and decrease postharvest waste. Nano-metal based sensors could be used for detection of ethylene in the store and to label the product along the distribution chain. Furthermore, nanocomposites could be included as scavengers for ethylene removal in active packaging, and nanocatalysts could promote ethylene catalytic degradation in the warehouse. Nanoparticles could also be introduced into a new generation of packaging to control effects of gases and UV, and increase strength, quality and packaging appearance. This review highlights recent results on the use of nanotechnology sensu lato and potential application for cut flower vase life improvement, focusing on ethylene control strategies. 相似文献

In sweet osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans Lour.) flowers, petal browning, partial abscission and wilting are the visible symptoms of senescence, 4–5 days after flowering, which seriously affect its ornamental and economic value. In the present study, DNA fragmentation was used as a marker to investigate the role of ethylene and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in flower senescence of O. fragrans ‘Liuye Jingui’. In intact plants, nuclear shrinkage and DNA fragmentation occurred at the late full flowering stage when senescence symptoms became visible. This coincided with a rapid increase in ethylene production, ROS generation and lipid peroxidation. To further determine the role of ethylene and ROS in flower senescence, cut flowers were treated with ethephon, silver thiosulphate (STS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and vitamin C (Vc). The vase life of cut flowers was significantly prolonged by 0.2 mM STS and 2.5 mM Vc treatments, but reduced by 0.03% H2O2 and 500 mg L−1 ethephon treatments, compared to distilled water. The percentage of DNA fragmentation was dramatically increased by ethephon but reduced by STS treatment throughout vase life. In contrast, the dramatic increase of DNA fragmentation in the H2O2 treated samples was only observed at day three, and clear petal abscission and rapid petal wilting occurred only with ethephon. Compared with the distinguishable nuclei and complete vacuoles in both STS treatment and distilled water, ethephon treatment caused substantial damage to large central vacuoles and other organelles, and many petal cells twisted out of shape due to a loss of cytoplasm, resulting in rapid petal wilting. Thus, it is concluded that ethylene plays an important role in flower senescence of sweet osmanthus, enhancing DNA fragmentation, damaging cellular structure, and leading to petal abscission and wilting. In addition, ROS is also involved in the regulation of late DNA degradation and lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Dendrobium orchid inflorescences were treated for 4 h at 25 °C with or without 100–500 nl/l 1-MCP and were then placed in water at 25 °C to follow abscission. In controls, depending on the experiment, 20–80% of the floral buds and 0–20% of the open flowers abscised within 1 week. The 1-MCP pretreatment largely prevented this abscission. If flowers were exposed to 1.0 μl/l ethylene for 3 days, all floral buds and all open flowers abscised within the 3 days of treatment. 1-MCP treatment just prior to ethylene treatment largely prevented the ethylene effect. Treatment with STS was as effective as treatment with 1-MCP. Dendrobium inflorescences are usually shipped by air in cardboard boxes lined with plastic film. The stem ends are placed in plastic tubes filled with water. After shipment and placement in water, a considerable percentage of the buds, and some flowers, abscise. This is probably due to elevated ethylene concentrations inside the boxes. Treatment of the inflorescences with 100–500 nl/l 1-MCP prior to simulated air transport largely prevented abscission during vase life. 1-MCP treatment inhibited ethylene production of the inflorescences by lowering both ACC synthase in open flowers and ACC oxidase activity in floral buds. 相似文献

A strong potent inhibitor of ethylene action, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) maintains apple fruit quality during storage. To understand the influence of time after harvest until 1-MCP treatment, we studied expression patterns of genes for ethylene biosynthesis enzymes and ethylene receptors in two apple cultivars, ‘Orin’ and ‘Fuji’, which differ in ethylene production. Ethylene production and expression of MdACS1, MdERS1, and MdERS2 were suppressed in all 1-MCP-treated ‘Fuji’ fruit, but in ‘Orin’, the later 1-MCP was applied after harvest, the less was the suppression of ethylene production and expression of these genes. In fruit in which 1-MCP had low efficacy (e.g., ‘Orin’ treated at 7 DAH), ethylene production and the level of MdERS1 were briefly reduced by 1-MCP treatment at 2 days after treatment, then began to increase. Since ethylene receptors negatively regulate the ethylene signalling pathway, the increased levels of ethylene production and ethylene receptors after 1-MCP treatment might reduce 1-MCP efficacy. 相似文献

Postharvest quality of cut lily flowers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This paper reviews the literature on the postharvest quality of cut lily inflorescences and highlights the need for more information. The main symptoms that limit the length of vase life are abscission of floral buds, lack of flower opening, tepal wilting, and leaf yellowing. Floral bud abscission is regulated by ethylene and can be prevented by treatments with inhibitors of the ethylene receptor. Lack of bud opening is also mimicked by ethylene treatment. It is alleviated by treatment with sugars. These might reduce ethylene effects or act as a source of energy. Depending on the cultivar, tepal wilting is not or is only slightly affected by ethylene. The time to tepal wilting is positively correlated with the levels of endogenous sugars. Leaf yellowing is apparently not affected by ethylene, and is aggravated by the inclusion of sugars in the vase solution. A treatment with hormones, in particular GA4+7 and benzyladenine, can prevent or alleviate the negative effects of sugars on leaf quality.A relatively short period of cold storage often drastically increases the number of floral buds that fail to open. Cold storage also hastens tepal wilting, induces or increases leaf yellowing, and promotes bud abscission. Several lily hybrids, therefore, seem chilling-sensitive. Some of the negative effects of cold storage can be alleviated by sugars, and others by GA4+7, with or without benzyladenine.The lack of ethylene sensitivity of tepal senescence, in several, but not all, cultivars, implies that pollination will also not affect senescence. It would be interesting to test this hypothesis in a few cultivars. It is also not clear if ethylene (or pollination) has an effect on tepal abscission in cut lilies. More data are also needed with regard to chilling injury. Pulsing with sugars might, for example, reduce the degree of injury. 相似文献

The present research investigated the effects of a non-volatile formulation of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) embedded in different cyclodextrin (CD)-based nanosponges (NSs) to extend the postharvest longevity of an ethylene-sensitive carnation cultivar. Cut flowers of Dianthus caryophyllus L. ‘Idra di Muraglia’ were treated with α- and β-CD-based nanosponge-1-MCP complexes (α- and β-NS complexes) in tap water to achieve two different concentrations of active ingredient (0.25 and 0.5 μL L?1). Treated flowers were compared to cut stems exposed to equivalent concentrations of volatile 1-MCP as well as a tap water control with or without pure α- and β-NS. Identical nanoporous compounds were applied by perfusion to yield a total of 15 treatments. Twenty-four hours after the treatments were applied, the cut flowers were exposed to exogenous ethylene (1 ± 0.2 μL L?1) for 24 h. The postharvest carnation flower and leaf quality in addition to ethylene production levels were determined daily (beginning 24 h after treatment). None of the α-NS complex applications statistically improved the vase life of cut flowers; however, β-NS complexes were effective in preventing senescence, reducing ethylene production (measured at nearly nil after 11 d), and maintaining original petal color longer. These results were particularly strong at the lowest concentration (0.25 μL L?1) of β-NS complex. Overall, this method promoted cut flower longevity (loss of ornamental value after 14.7 d; complete damage at day 18.5) better than the commercial 1-MCP gaseous application method. 相似文献

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) is a broad spectrum post-emergence herbicide. This herbicide inhibits the shikimate pathway enzyme EPSP synthase (5-enol pyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase), thereby interfering with aromatic amino acid metabolism. During preliminary investigations with inhibitors of protein and amino acid biosynthesis, we noticed that vase solutions containing glyphosate altered the normal pattern of Sandersonia aurantiaca flower senescence. Further studies showed that although glyphosate (2 mM) was toxic to all green tissue on the flower stem, the senescence of mature flowers (no green tissue) was delayed. Glyphosate-treated flowers did not fade but stayed a bright orange colour and the compressive strength of the flowers was greater (the flowers were less wilted) than the control flowers that were held in water. Treatment of flowers with vase solutions of phenylalanine (2 mM) and tyrosine (2 mM) in the presence of glyphosate reversed the beneficial effect that glyphosate treatment had on flower senescence. The data indicate that a lack of aromatic amino acids may be the cause of delayed fading and wilting of glyphosate-treated sandersonia flowers. 相似文献

The relationship between fragrance and vase life and the role of ethylene on volatile emission in cut rose flowers was investigated. No relationship was observed between the amounts of volatile compounds emitted and vase life when fragrant and non-fragrant rose cultivars were compared. Neither ethylene production nor respiration rate of flowers was directly related with vase life. Volatile production during vase life was differential and independent among volatiles originating from different biosynthetic groups. Ethylene did not play a role in the regulation of volatile emission in rose flowers. Endogenous ethylene production was very low in most of the cultivars and did not show autocatalytic production trends. Volatile emission patterns during vase life did not parallel endogenous ethylene production. Exogenous ethylene exposure had differential effects among all cultivars, regardless of the fragrance of the flower. Fragrant cultivar ‘Osiana’ was highly sensitive to exogenous ethylene, with petals abscising within 24 h of ethylene (1 μL L?1) exposure while other fragrant cultivars ‘Erin’ and ‘Lovely Dream’ had low ethylene sensitivity. Volatile production was unaffected by exogenous ethylene. The results of this study indicate that volatile emission in cut roses is not regulated by endogenous or exogenous ethylene and occurs independently of petal senescence and/or abscission. These results provide a better understanding of the complexity of volatile emission in rose flowers. 相似文献

We investigated changes in ethylene production, sensitivity, effects of ethylene inhibitors and levels of ethylene receptor genes to determine factors responsible for long-lived flowers in a Delphinium line ‘B-10’. Flower longevity of ‘B-10’ was clearly longer than that of the control cultivar ‘Bellamosum’, and sepals of ‘B-10’ did not abscise. ‘B-10’ did not show the climacteric-like ethylene production during flower senescence but constitutively produced ethylene from days 0 to 9. The ethylene inhibitors silver thiosulfate (STS) and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) extended flower longevity in both cultivars. Exogenous ethylene treatment did not affect flower longevity but did increase ethylene production in ‘B-10’. These results suggest that low sensitivity to ethylene is responsible for long-lived ‘B-10’ flowers, and may suppress climacteric-like ethylene production. 相似文献

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment maintains apple fruit quality during storage, but its efficacy is dependent on a number of conditions. ‘Tsugaru’ apples are a major early season cultivar in Japan, but because ‘Tsugaru’ fruit produce abundant ethylene, they have a short shelf-life, and efficacy of 1-MCP is not as high with ‘Tsugaru’ as with other cultivars. To improve 1-MCP efficacy, ‘Tsugaru’ fruit were pre-cooled at −1 °C or −3 °C for 24 h before 1-MCP treatment. Ethylene production decreased with the cold treatment, resulting in better storage after 1-MCP treatment. Although ethylene production was low at the end of 24 h of the cold pre-treatment, expression of ACS1, the ethylene receptor genes ERS1, ETR1(a), ETR1b, ETR2 and ETR5, and the cell wall degradation-related gene PG1 all increased with a 24 h cold treatment. It is assumed that these elevated gene expression levels were not caused by ethylene, but more directly by cold stimulus. Thus, a short period of cold stimulus suppresses ethylene production, but induces expression of some genes. 1-MCP treatment was more effective with some initial fruit chilling. 相似文献

Ethylene biosynthesis in kiwifruit, Actinidia chinensis ‘Sanuki Gold’ was characterized using propylene, an ethylene analog, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene perception. In fruit harvested between a young stage (66 days after pollination) (DAP) and an early commercial harvesting stage (143 DAP), 2 days of exposure to propylene were sufficient to initiate ethylene biosynthesis while in fruit harvested at commercial harvesting stage (154 DAP), 4 days of propylene treatment were required. This observation suggests that response of ethylene biosynthesis to propylene treatment in kiwifruit declined with fruit maturity. Propylene treatment resulted in up-regulated expression of AC-ACO1, AC-ACO2, AC-SAM1 and AC-SAM2, prior to the induction of AC-ACS1 and ethylene production, confirming that AC-ACS1 is the rate limiting step in ethylene biosynthesis in kiwifruit. Treatment of fruit with more than 5 μL L?1 of 1-MCP after the induction of ethylene production subsequently suppressed ethylene production and expression of ethylene biosynthesis genes. Treatment of fruit with 1-MCP at harvest followed with propylene treatment delayed the induction of ethylene production and AC-ACS1 expression for 5 days. These observations suggest that in ripening kiwifruit, ethylene biosynthesis is regulated by positive feedback mechanism and that 1-MCP treatment at harvest effectively delays ethylene production by 5 days. 相似文献

This work determined if the ethylene dependent signal pathway was required for antagonist-mediated fruit defense mechanisms through investigation of disease resistance against Penicillium digitatum in Ponkan mandarin induced by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene perception, and Rhodosporidium paludigenum. Blocking ethylene perception with 1-MCP resulted in an increase in ACS1, ACS2 and ACO expression, and consequently an increase in ethylene production during mechanical wounding and resistance induction. The expression of the ethylene receptors ETR1, ETR2 and ETR4 as well as ethylene response factor (ERF) were observed with similar responses to yeast and 1-MCP stimuli, with ETR3 mRNA accumulation being the most sensitive to yeast application while ERS1 was the least sensitive. When applied at concentrations greater than 500 nL L−1, 1-MCP pre-fumigation significantly reduced the fruit's natural protection and R. paludigenum induced disease resistance to Penicillium decay, indicating that ethylene perception was involved in inducting disease resistance. Moreover, expression of the defensive genes CHI, β-1,3-glucanase, PAL and CIN up-regulated by yeast was inhibited to different degrees by the 1-MCP pre-treatment. This study provides evidence that the biocontrol yeast R. paludigenum increased disease resistance in Ponkan mandarin against P. digitatum infection due to ethylene and signaling pathway dependent mechanisms. 相似文献

Leaf yellowing is an early symptom of senescence and greatly affects the commercial value of leafy vegetable products. The ethylene action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has been widely studied regarding its effects on senescence, but little is known on how it influences the protein expression profile of leafy vegetables in storage. In this study, by using a proteomic approach, changes in proteomic profile induced by 1-MCP in Tsai Tai (Brassica chinensis) leaves during storage under low but non-freezing temperature were investigated. Compared with the control, 1-MCP treatment inhibited leaf etiolation and reduced weight loss of Tsai Tai stored at 1 °C, indicating that it delayed senescence. Two dimensional electrophoresis revealed 16 differentially accumulated protein spots, 12 of which were successfully identified by mass spectrometry. A comparison between the control and the 1-MCP-treated Tsai Tai showed that 1-MCP enhanced levels of four proteins involved in photosynthesis, i.e. photosystem II protein, oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 2, chloroplast ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase and high molecular weight RuBisCO, inhibited malate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, downregulated gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase expression, a key enzyme involved in biosynthesis of active gibberellins, and suppressed glutathione s-transferase, an important scavenger for reactive oxygen species. These results imply that 1-MCP could maintain leaf capacity for carbon assimilation, inhibit the tricarboxylic acid cycle, induce biosynthesis of GAs and reduce levels of reactive oxygen species, which together may have contributed to inhibition of leaf yellowing and delay of senescence. 相似文献

The regulatory effects of 5 kPa CO2 and of the ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at 0.5 μmol/l on the senescence of harvested mint, Mentha longifolia L. were assessed. Visual parameters of senescence including yellowing, browning, decay and leaf abscission were recorded and scored on scales linking the onset and progression of senescence to marketability. The effects of plant age on the rate of postharvest senescence and on the efficacy of the CO2 and 1-MCP treatments were also investigated. All experiments were repeated with and without the presence of exogenous ethylene. Two experimental formats were used, with 6 days storage at room temperature representing local market conditions, and 6 days cold storage at 1.5 °C followed by 4 days at room temperature representing export market conditions. Sprigs from old plants were no longer of marketable quality after 6 days storage at room temperature. Exogenous ethylene accelerated the onset of senescence causing unacceptably high rates of leaf abscission. Raised levels of CO2 in a controlled atmosphere system were found to be more effective in inhibiting senescence without the presence of exogenous ethylene than pre-treatment with 1-MCP, and no additive effect was found. However in the presence of exogenous ethylene, a combined treatment with 1-MCP together with raised CO2 levels resulted in a significant additive effect in nullifying the ethylene-induced leaf abscission. Respiration rates as measured by CO2 production, and ethylene production, were recorded throughout all experiments. While CO2 levels were not affected by any experimental treatment, ethylene production was elevated in mint sprigs exposed to an initial dose of gaseous 1-MCP, and was further increased under a combined treatment of 1-MCP together with 5 kPa CO2. However in the presence of exogenous ethylene, CO2 strongly suppressed the 1-MCP induced ethylene production. 相似文献
