Abstract
This study was consummated at postharvest laboratory of ornamental plants and landscape gardening research dept., hort. res. Inst., ARC; Giza, Egypt during 2012 and 2013 seasons to improve quality of limonium sinuatum cut flowers through studying the effect of holding solutions (including distilled water as a control, 0.5ml / l florissant100 + 200mg / l 8- hydroxyquinoline citrate, 2% sucrose + 200 mg / l 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate, 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate + 150mg / l citric acid and 2% sucrose + 200 mg / l 8- hydroxyquinoline citrate + 150mg / l citric acid + 150mg / l 6- benzyladenine + 0.5 ml/l Tween20) and storage temperatures including room temperature (21 ± 1{u00B0}C) or the cold storage at 0 or 5{u00B0}C for one week, as well as their interactions on longevity and quality of limonium sinuatum cv. Velvet wings cut flowering stems till the end of vase life. Results indicated that it is recommended to hold the cut flowering stems of limonium sinuatum cv. Velvet Wings in a solution containing 2% sucrose + 200mg / l 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate + 150mg / l citric acid + 150mg / l 6- benzyladenine + 0.5ml / l florissant 100 + 0.5 ml / l tween 20 under room temperature (21 ± 1{u00B0}C) for prolonging their longevity and improving quality of flowers, followed by cut flowers stored at 0{u00B0}C and treated with the same previous solution, comparing with the other treatments
