Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Sucrose moved relatively unchanged through the stem.
- Observation Sucrose was rapidly inverted and metabolized in petals.
- Observation During natural ageing, 14C moved from stem to flower.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose enhanced 14C movement from stem to flower.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose reduced petal dry matter loss.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose promoted petal growth.
- Intervention effect Ethylene caused petals to wilt and lose dry weight.
- Intervention effect Ethylene caused ovaries to enlarge and gain dry weight.
- Mechanism Changed source relationships contribute to the rate of flower senescence.
