Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma treatment has emerged as a promising potential seed quality enhancement method over recent years. This study focuses on the effect of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on seed germination and growth of Long

The indigenous root and tuber crops in Sri Lanka have not been exploited by the food industry. With a view to establish their nutritional importance and promote consumption and industry usage, this study determined the contents of selected bio active

An inherently short vase life is a problematic characteristic of cut flowers and foliage for otherwise attractive native Australian Acacia spp. Reasons underlying the poor postharvest water uptake of cut acacia stems have been elusive. A. holosericea

Maintaining a high rate of water uptake is crucial for maximum longevity of cut stems. Physiological gel/tylosis formation decreases water transport efficiency in the xylem. The primary mechanism of action for post-harvest Cu2+ treatments in improvin

The mechanisms of action of Cu 2+ in improving the longevity of cut flowers and foliage have not been elucidated. Possible antimicrobial action of Cu 2+ against stem end and vase solution colonising bacteria was investigated using Cu 2+ treatments op

Microbes and their exopolysaccharides (EPS) can block xylem vessels, thereby increasing the hydraulic resistance and decreasing the vase life of cut flowers and foliage. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides a powerful tool for investigation of

The relative efficacies of three chemically different nano-silver (NS) formulations were evaluated for their potential to extend the vase life of short-lived cut Acacia holosericea foliage. The novel proprietary formulations were neutral NS, acidic N

A short postharvest life is the major constraint associated with cut Acacia flowers and foliage. Treatment with CuSO4 (Cu2+) has previously been shown to improve the longevity of cut Acacia holosericea stems. Towards refining the treatments, a range

SummaryWilting associated with diminishing post-harvest water uptake is a major constraint on longevity for cut stems of many Acacia spp. Cu2+ ions have known biocidal activity and may also act as inhibitors of plant wound reaction enzymes. A series
