The senescent characteristics of cut tulips at 23.5 C were studied. The data show that tulips
vary in vase-life from as little as 3 to 4 days to more than 6 days. Also, the stems and …

Owing to conditions prevailing during storage, transport, and in the greenhouse some
unwanted effects (disorders) can occur, including short stems, flower-bud blasting, greening …

The behaviour of a tulip bulb after storage at 2 C depends on the physiological state of the
bulb at the start of storage. Bulbs of late cultivars lifted before they were mature and …

Research is reported on the possibilities of selecting for keeping quality in tulip breeding. In
glasshouse trials it was found that the keeping quality of flowers, left intact on the plant, was …

An experiment was undertaken in two consecutive seasons of 2003-04 and 2004-05 to
understand the physiological and biochemical events leading to senescence and the role of …

During the last few years an improved method for extending the forcing period of tulip bulbs
has been introduced into everyday practice in The Netherlands, leading to an almost year …

Many factors present during the storage period have an influence on growth and yield, one
of them being temperature. Experiments have demonstrated an important relationship …

Cut tulips were successfully stored at 31° F., either with the stems in water in the open, or
without free water in an atmosphere of 11% CO2 and 10% O2. Dry storage in humid air of …

The vase-life in tulip (Tulipa L.) is an important character. Research was done on the
possibilities of selecting for keeping quality. It was found that the keeping quality of …

The effects of different periods of storage at low temperature on some plant parameters were
examined at anthesis. The duration of the low-temperature storage affected the time taken …
