Fluridone treatment delayed visible senescence symptoms in cut flowers of both 'Luoyanghong' and 'Xueying Taohua' tree peony cultivars
2
The treatment altered biochemical markers associated with flower aging, such as antioxidant activity and membrane stability
3
Gene expression analysis identified specific senescence-related genes whose activity shifted in response to fluridone treatment
