Article Synopsis
- The study focused on enhancing the vase life of cut Gerbera jamesonii flowers using melatonin and nanochitosan-encapsulated melatonin as preservative solutions.
- Results showed that flowers treated with 0.1 and 0.5 mM nCS-Mel maintained better cell membrane integrity, increased anthocyanin, carbohydrates, and flavonoid levels compared to controls.
- Additionally, antioxidant enzyme activities such as catalase and superoxide dismutase were higher in treated flowers, suggesting that melatonin effectively reduces oxidative stress and promotes flower longevity.
