✦ Synopsis


The effects of a novel preservative for cut carnation flowers, 1 ,l -dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS), were investigated. DPSS extended the vase life of cut carnation flowers not only by continuous treatment but pulse treatment as well. This inhibition of senescence by DPSS appeared to depend on that of ethylene production in carnation flowers. DPSS provided no protection from the action of ethylene nor did it inhibit 1 -aminocyclopropane-I-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase. It did inhibit ACC-dependent ethylene production in carnation petal discs, suggesting possible potential for inhibiting ACC oxidase.
