Effect of Sucrose on Response of Cut Carnation to Kinetin, Ethylene, and Abscisic Acid1

Year: 1976

Type: article

Abstract: The longevity of cut carnations ( Dianthus caryophyllus L.) was enhanced by solutions containing kinetin and sucrose compared to kinetin alone. Flowers developing during periods of low light intensity senesced rapidly and responded to kinetin only when supplemented with sucrose. Flowers supplemented with sucrose senesced less rapidly when treated with ethylene or abscisic acid than those not treated with sucrose.
