Cover Story: Dahlias have become popular cut flowers, but the vase life of cut dahlia flowers is short. The petal senescence is divided into petal wilting, withering, and abscission. The pulse treatment with silver thiosulfate complex (STS) followed by continuous treatment with GLA, which consisted of glucose, isothiazolinone germicide, and aluminum sulfate, extends the vase life of cut dahlias, irrespective of the senescence types. The background photograph shows the dahlia production greenhouse, and the foreground photographs show the effect of STS and GLA on the vase life of cut dahlia ‘Micchan’. STS delays the wilting of outer petals (left), whereas GLA promotes the growth of inner petals (right). View this paper
