Abstract
ⶠWe studied effects of oxidative enzyme inhibitors on water relations of cut flowers. ⶠ12 inhibitors increased water uptake and vase life of Acacia foliage. ⶠ6 inhibitors increased water uptake and vase life of Chamelaucium flowers. ⶠThere were significant correlations between water uptake, fresh weight and vase life. ⶠWe conclude that oxidative enzymes contribute to xylem occlusion in woody cut stems.
