Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Stem bending varied with cultivar.
- Association Stem bending was positively correlated with postharvest stem elongation rate.
- Intervention effect LaCl3 prevented stem bending.
- Intervention effect LaCl3 reduced stem elongation.
- Observation LaCl3-treated stems failed to remain straight when placed vertically.
- Association Gravitropic response varied among cultivars with growing conditions.
- Intervention effect LaCl3 did not affect bending during simulated dry transport.
- Intervention effect Cold-stored flowers bent less than fresh flowers held at room temperature.
- Intervention effect LaCl3 reduced flower longevity by 20 to 40% with or without simulated transport.
