An effective protocol for improving vaselife and postharvest performance of cut Narcissus tazetta flowers

A study was made to investigate differential responses of petal senescence and postharvest performance at varying concentrations of Cycloheximide (CHI) in cut spikes of Narcissus tazetta cv. Kashmir Local. Cycloheximide at 0.01 and 0.05 mM concentrations delayed senescence. Above 0.05 mM concentrati...
