title: Effects of silver on ethylene synthesis and action in cut carnations.
abstract: Silver, applied as silverthiosulphate, completely blocked the ethylene surge preceding the wilting of the petals. As a consequence, vase life was extended by nearly 100%. In addition, a pretreatment with silverthiosulphate caused the flowers to become insensitive to an ethylene treatment.
