Research Abstract

Combined treatments of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) prolonged the display life under the room condition in potted plants of carnation and impatiens. Especially active MAP(10 %O_2,2.8%CO_2)and 1-MCP inhibited respiration rate and expression of ethylene related genes, decreased ethylene production, and alleviated decrements of carbohydrates, thereby improved the quality of potted plants
