Silverthiosulphate which is a potent inhibitor of ethylene action was found to be ineffective in delaying senescence of detached flowers of Iris germanica whereas cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, effectively delayed the senescence of these flowers and extended the longevity to 6 days. However, this treatment resulted in suppression of bud opening. When cycloheximide treatment was given at progressive intervals it became less effective in inhibiting bud opening and delaying senescence. Cycloheximide treatment maintained a higher protein content in the perianth tissue of flowers compared to untreated flowers.
