Abstract
This study investigated the influence of cytokinins, gibberellins, sucrose and silver thiosulphate on water relations and post-harvest physiology of cut tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L) flowers. Tuberose flowers held in de-ionised water (DIW) had a vase life of 13 days with 63% floret opening. Addition of gibberellins (GA4+7) in the vase solution had no effect on vase life or floret opening along the spike. Pulsing of the cut flowers with 10% sucrose for 24 hr before transfer to DIW improved their vase life by 4 days and improved the floret opening by 21% above DIW controls. Addition of Benzylaminopurine (BA) at low concentrations (25-50 mg L-1) improved vase life of the cut tuberose stems while higher concentrations (75-100 mg L-1) gave no improvement. A 24 hr pulse in 10% sucrose improved the vase-life by 3.6 days and floret opening by 13%. Pulsed stems transferred to holding solutions containing various concentrations of BA improved vase life by an extra 3 days at BA concentration of 25 mg L-1. Higher BA concentrations gave no significant (P>0.05) improvement over the pulsed stems. However, floret opening was greater at 25 and 50 mg L-1 BA (P
