Abstract
Summary. Treatment of cut flowering
Boronia heterophylla (red boronia) stems with 10 L
ethylene/L for 72 h at 20°C induced flower senescence and abscission,
and thereby reduced stem fresh weight and vase life. Pre-treatment with
1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) reduced these ethylene effects. Treatment of
B. heterophylla with 10 L ethylene/L for a shorter
12 h period at 20°C did not affect vase life. Rates of endogenous ethylene
production by B. heterophylla flowers increased in
association with wilting during flower senescence.
