Abstract:

The rise in ethylene production accompanying the respiration climacteric and senescence of cut carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv. White Sim) was associated with a 30-fold increase in the concentration of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in the petals (initial content 0.3 nmol/g fresh weight). Pretreatment of the flowers with silver thiosulfate (STS) retarded flower senescence and prevented the increase in ACC concentration in the petals. An increase in ACC in the remaining flower parts, which appeared to precede the increase in the petals, was only partially prevented by the STS pretreatment. Addition of aminoxyacetic acid (2 mM) to the solution in which the flowers were kept completely inhibited accumulation of ACC in all flower parts. © 1980 Springer-Verlag.
