Ethylene is the most important factor playing roles in senescence and deterioration of harvested crops including cut flowers. Brassinosteroids (BRs), as natural phytohormones, have been reported to differently modulate ethylene production and related senescence processes in different crops. This study was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) on ACC oxidase enzyme activity, the final enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis pathway, vase life, and senescence rate in lisianthus cut flowers. Harvested flowers were treated with EBL (at 0, 3, 6, and 9 µmol/L) and kept at 25 °C for 15 days. The ACC oxidase activity, water absorption, malondialdehyde (MDA) production and vase solution absorption rates, chlorophyll and anthocyanin contents, and the vase life of the flowers were evaluated during and at the end of storage. EBL at 3 µmol/L significantly (p ≤ 0.01) enhanced the flower vase life by decreasing the ACC oxidase activity, MDA production and senescence rates, and enhancing chlorophyll and anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation, relative water content, and vase solution absorption rates. By increasing the concentration, EBL negatively affected the flower vase life and postharvest quality probably via enhancing the ACC oxidase enzyme activity and subsequent ethylene production. EBL at 6 and 9 µmol/L and in a concentration dependent manner, enhanced the ACC oxidase activity and MDA production rate and decreased chlorophyll and anthocyanin accumulation and water absorption rate. The results indicate that the effects of brassinosteroids on ethylene production and physiology of lisianthus cut flowers is highly dose dependent.

1. Under defined conditions, the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid catalysed by a phenolase from leaves of spinach beet (Beta vulgaris L.) was observed to develop its maximum rate only after a lag period. 2. By decreasing the reaction rate with lower enzyme concentrations or by increasing it with higher concentrations of reductants, the length of the lag period was inversely related to the maximum rate subsequently developed. 3. Low concentrations of caffeic acid or other o-dihydric phenols abolished this lag period. With caffeic acid, the rate of hydroxylation was independent of the reductant employed. 4. Hydroxylation was inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate, but with low inhibitor concentrations hydroxylation recovered after a lag period. This lag could again be abolished by the addition of high concentrations of caffeic acid or other o-dihydric phenols. 5. Catechol oxidase activity showed no lag period, and did not recover from diethyldithiocarbamate inhibition. 6. The purified enzyme contained 0.17–0.33% copper; preparations with the highest specific activity were found to have the highest copper content. 7. The results are interpreted to suggest that the oxidation of o-dihydric phenols converts the enzymic copper into a species catalytically active in hydroxylation. This may represent the primary function for the catechol oxidase activity of the phenolase complex. The electron donors are concerned mainly, but not entirely, in the reduction of o-quinones produced in this reaction.
