Postharvest application of the strigolactone analog GR24 enhances antioxidant capacity and delays senescence in cut roses (Rosa hybrida) with Transcriptomic evidence for the involvement of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis genes.

The commercial value of cut roses is severely constrained by their short vase life, which results from rapid postharvest senescence. Although strigolactones (SLs) are known to regulate plant stress responses, their role in preserving cut flowers remains largely unexplored. In this study, we integrated physiological ass...
