Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The main pigment in Excerea carnation petals was Pg3MG.
- Observation Pg3MG in carnation petals fell 48–70% between days 5 and 15 under high temperature.
- Association Lower C* and hº petal colour values were consistent with reduced Pg3MG content.
- Observation Carnation petal epidermal cells enlarged on both abaxial and adaxial surfaces from day 5 to day 15 regardless of treatment conditions.
- Mechanism Epidermal cell enlargement could explain the change in flower appearance.
