| Abstract | Salicylic acid (SA) belongs to phenolic compound and is an endogenous growth regulator which participates in regulation of physiological processes in plants such as seed germination, fruit yield, glycolysis, flowering and heat production in thermo genic plants. Gladiolus is prized by florists for their showy flower spikes, and by growers for their relative ease of production. Like other flowers with spike inflorescences, gladiolus is normally harvested with relatively few open florets, and the life of the flower is a function both of the life of individual florets, and of the postharvest expansion and opening of the buds remaining on the spike. To evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid and acetyl salicylic acid on the quality and vase life of cut flowers gladiolus (Gladiolus persicus), this experiment as factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications has been conducted. Ascorbic acid in concentrations of 0, 2, 4 and 6 mM as the first factor and salicylic acid in concentrations of 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg per liter were considered as the second factor. Analysis of variance showed that the effect of salicylic acid and ascorbic acid on all characteristics was significant. |
