This study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics of cut roses produced in Gangjin-gun and Gwangju Metropolitan City Gwangiu, and to identify key technical factors required to expand local consumption of floricultural products. Cut roses (Rosa hybrida ‘Hazel’), produced year-round in Gangjin-gun and Gwangju Metropolitan City Gwangju, were used as plant materials. During the fall season (October – November), the harvested floral shoots had a height of 64.0cm, a fresh weight of 41.1g, and a flower size of 28.7cm2. These parameters of flowing response increased by 17.3% – 53.7% in November compared with ones in October. Cut roses ‘Hazel’ produced in Gangjin showed a superior vase life of up to 15.0 days. However, the effectiveness of preservatives at the consumer stage was limited because of disease and pest incidence. In contrast, roses cultivated in Gwangju had 10.9% – 11.6% greater height and fresh weight of flora shoots whereas flower size was 26.3% smaller than that of ones from Gangjin. The vase life of Gwangju-grown flowers improved by 3.1% – 33.6% depending on preservatives concentration and was associated with increased relative fresh weight of floral shoots. Cut roses from Gangjin developed gray mold and powdery mildew on petals and leaves, with disease incidence exceeding 90.9% at maximum levels during the flowering period. Therefore, further field-based studies and demonstrations are required to establish integrated cultivation and post-harvest technologies for the high-quality cut roses in Jeonnam.

The Floriculture Research Institute of Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services developed a new yellow bedding chrysanthemum cultivar, “Yello Star,” using chrysanthemum germplasm resources. The cultivar was selected from a seedling population derived from an artificial cross between the female parent “G13-031-26” and the male parent “G15-068-08,” followed by multi-year cultivation trials to verify the uniformity and stability of its major traits. “Yello Star” exhibited a hemispherical growth habit and a late-flowering characteristic, blooming in late October under natural daylength conditions. The ray florets displayed a bright yellow color corresponding to Yellow 9A on the RHS color chart, and the flowers showed a semi-double form with a low proportion of disc florets. Major growth characteristics included an average flower diameter of 3.5 cm, 726.8 flowers per plant, 181.7 ray florets per flower, and a plant height of 23.5 cm, while leaf color corresponded to Green 137B. Compared with the control cultivar “Geumbangul,” “Yello Star” differed in plant habit, flowering time, and flowering characteristics and showed stable performance with minimal variation across repeated cultivation trials. Additionally, basal shoots developed naturally from the stem base, enabling plants to maintain a balanced canopy without pinching. Qualitative analysis of floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) showed that monoterpene compounds accounted for the largest proportion of total VOCs in both cultivars, representing 83.95% in “Yello Star” and 69.45% in “Geumbangul.” Particularly, chrysanthenone, eucalyptol, and camphene were the predominant compounds in “Yello Star,” suggesting a clear, cool, minty-herbal fragrance, whereas (+)-camphene, γ-terpinene, and eucalyptol predominated in “Geumbangul,” indicating relatively stronger piney and resinous notes. These results indicate that “Yello Star” is a late-flowering bedding chrysanthemum cultivar with a desirable plant habit, stable performance, and distinctive floral fragrance, making it well suited for autumn festivals and open-field landscape use.

This study aimed to establish an efficient propagation protocol for Apocynum lancifolium Russanov by evaluating seed germination behavior and vegetative propagation through stem cuttings. Seed germination was examined under different temperature regimes, cold-stratification periods, and gibberellic acid (GA3) treatments. Final germination rates were high (98.7%–100%) at 25/15, 20/10, and 15/6°C, whereas germination was significantly reduced at 4°C (13.3%). Cold stratification for 0–12 weeks resulted in consistently high germination, without significant differences among stratification durations. GA3 treatment did not affect final germination under optimal temperature conditions, whereas under the relatively low temperature regime (15/6°C), differences were observed only during early germination progression. The move-along test further confirmed that germination was strongly inhibited at 4°C. Collectively, these findings indicate that A. lancifolium seeds do not require cold stratification or GA3 treatment and can be classified as non-dormant. For vegetative propagation, stem cuttings were treated with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at concentrations of 100–2000 mg·L-1. Survival rate differed insignificantly among treatments. Root number and leaf width were highest at 1000 mg·L-1 IBA. Considering both rooting performance and shoot growth, IBA concentrations of 500–1000 mg·L-1 were optimal, with 1000 mg·L-1 identified as the most effective concentration. These results demonstrate the feasibility of combined seed- and cutting-based propagation strategies for A. lancifolium.

This study investigated the effects of formic acid (FA) petal-dipping treatment on the postharvest quality of cut rose “All For Love” and its efficacy in suppressing gray mold (Botrytis cinerea). Petals were dipped for 3 s in FA solutions at concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 9000 μL·L-1. The petal color change rate (ΔE) was highest following treatment with 9000 μL·L-1 FA, and phytotoxicity was observed at concentrations ≥100 μL·L-1. To evaluate the antifungal efficacy of FA, petals inoculated with B. cinerea were dipped in 50 μL·L-1 FA for 3 s. Under B. cinerea infection, FA treatment extended vase life by 62.5% compared with the B. cinerea treatment and was more effective than distilled water treatment. B. cinerea inoculation reduced vase life by 77.8% relative to non-treated control. Although 50 μL·L-1 FA did not improve vase life under non-infected conditions, it significantly extended vase life under infected treatments. No significant differences were observed among treatments in petal color or leaf chlorophyll content. In conclusion, petal dipping with 50 μL·L-1 FA effectively extended vase life under B. cinerea infection without adversely affecting key quality attributes, including petal color, leaf chlorophyll content, flower diameter, relative fresh weight, vase solution uptake, or electrolyte leakage.

Heat and drought stresses are among the most critical abiotic factors threatening floricultural crop production under accelerating climate change. Unlike food crops, where survival and yield are the primary concerns, the commercial value of ornamental plants is largely determined by aesthetic traits such as flower color, shape, fragrance, and vase life, which are highly sensitive to environmental stresses. This review provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying heat and drought stress responses in plants, with particular emphasis on recent findings in major floricultural crops including chrysanthemum, rose, lily, and petunia, which were selected as representative species based on their commercial importance and the availability of recent molecular studies. Heat stress is primarily sensed through membrane fluidity changes, protein unfolding, and reactive oxygen species accumulation, triggering the heat shock transcription factor (HSF)-heat shock protein (HSP) signaling cascade. Drought stress is mediated principally through abscisic acid accumulation and the core pyrabactin resistance1-like (PYL)-protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C)-sucrose non-fermenting1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) signaling module, which drives stomatal closure and downstream osmotic adjustment. In floricultural crops, these conserved pathways are further intertwined with ornamental quality-related processes such as flower pigmentation, vase life, and postproduction shelf life. Key transcription factors including CmHSFA4, RcMYB8, RcNAC091, LlHsfA2, and LlHSFA4 have been identified as central regulators of stress tolerance in these crops. Understanding these mechanisms provides a foundation for developing stress-tolerant floricultural cultivars capable of maintaining both productivity and ornamental quality under future climate scenarios.
