Flower buds of jasmine flowers open during storage resulting in a short storage life.The objective of this study was to delay in bud opening of jasmine flowers during low temperature storage.Jasmine flowers at bud stage were treated with 15-60 mg/L AgNO3, 50-200 mg/L HQS and drinking water (control) before storage at 0°C (95±2% RH).The results showed that jasmine flowers treated with AgNO3 and HQS delayed and decreased of bud opening during storage.Treatment of 30 mg/L AgNO3 and 200 mg/L HQS reduced bud opening to 28.4 and 35.1%, respectively.Ethyleneproduction and respiration rate of jasmine flowers treated with AgNO3 and HQS were lower than that of control flowers.
