Abstract
Sucrose-treatment delayed the onset of senescence of Sandersonia aurantiaca flowers.
Sucrose-fed flowers were larger, firmer and of a brighter orange colour than control flowers that were stored with their stems in water.
The endogenous levels of carotenoids, soluble carbohydrate and soluble protein were greater in the sucrose-fed flowers compared to control flowers.
The levels of sugars and proteins declined after the first visible signs of floral senescence (fading and wilting) in both control and sucrose-fed flowers.
This indicates that although sucrose treatment delays the onset of senescence, neither the total level of endogenous soluble sugar or soluble protein is a limiting factor which triggers flower senescence in sandersonia.
