Abstract
The relationship between electrolyte leakage and vase life of cut Anthurium Fire and Midori flowers was investigated.
Electrolyte leakage of both cut Anthurium flowers increased during the vase period at 21±2°C. The maximum value of electrolyte leakage of both cultivars was 167.342±9.251%. It was revealed that the rate of electrolyte leakage of Fire flowers was more rapid than in Midori flowers.
By means of Least Squares Method, however, its change could be described with the same pattern by one mathematical model.
It was found that the change of electrolyte leakage was closely related to the actual vase life of flowers.
This model could accurately predict the vase life of cut Fire and Midori Anthurium flowers with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.974 and 0.995, respectively.
