Vase life reduced in the presence of ethylene, and a significant difference was observed among treatments. Control had the longest vase life and showed a significant difference with other 0481216 C treatments (Fig. 2). 1 1-MCP + E resulted in prolonged vase life in the presence of ethylene and had a significant difference with E and 0.5 1-MCP + E. Furthermore, no difference was observed between E and 0.5 1-MCP + E. Control and 1 1-MCP + E had the highest mean of vase life of 14.1 and 13.1 days respectively, while E and 0.5 1-MCP + E showed the lowest mean of vase life of 11.6 and 12.2 days sequentially (Fig. 2).
