The marketability of Dutch iris (Iris× hollandica) cut flowers is limited by their short display life
and frequent failure to open fully. We tested the ability of thidiazuron (TDZ), a phenyl-urea …

Plant hormones such as cytokinins and gibberellins are able to inhibit leaf yellowing in
different species of cut flowers and potted plants. These hormones can be used alone or in …

Strong cytokinin effects of thidiazuron (TDZ) in many plant species have been observed
since its discovery in the 1970s. Several of these effects, such as cell division stimulatory …

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is a substituted phenylurea first synthesized in 1967 by the Schering
Corporation in Germany. Compared to other plant growth regulators, TDZ is a powerful and …

The ornamental quality of flowering pot plants mainly depends from flower health and the
colour of the leaves. During the post-production stages, potted plants undergo severe stress …

The effects of post-harvest treatments with thidiazuron (TDZ), ethylene and abscisic acid
