Abstract
This experiment was conducted to improve postharvest quality and extended vase life of Korean native Aster koraiensis Nakai for use as cut flowers. Aster koraiensis Nakai cut flowers were treated with various pretreatment and holding solution. Postharvest pretreatment with 3% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ HQC + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;AgNO_3$ + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA and 3% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ HQC + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;AgNO_3$ + $150mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ citric acid for 16 hours extended vase life of cut Aster koraiensis Nakai flowers by 1.4 times as compared with the control (distilled water). Holding solution of 3% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ HQC + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;AgNO_3$ + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA and 3% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ HQC + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;AgNO_3$ + $150mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3$ extended vase life of cut Aster koraiensis Nakai flowers by1.6 and 1.7 times as compared with control (distilled water). Aster koraiensis Nakai.flowers held in this preservative solution increased fresh weight and were maintained positive water balance for a long vase period. It was suggested that the vase life of cut Aster koraiensis Nakai flowers was closely related to fresh weight and water balance of the cut flower.
