| Abstract:
A mixture of amino-oxyacetic acid (AOA), Triton X-100 and kinetin extended longevity of cut carnation flowers considerably. AOA inhibited ethylene synthesis and, to a certain extent, also protected the flowers against exogenous ethylene. Triton X-100 extended longevity of the flowers, but dit not protect them against exogenous ethylene. | |
