The effect of 1-methylcycloprepene microbubbles (1-MCP-MBs) on reducing chlorophyll degradation, prolonging vase life and maintaining the quality of Dendrobium cv. ‘Burana Jade’ inflorescences was investigated. The inflorescences were immersed in 50 ppm 1-MCP-MBs or tap water (control) for 5 min an...
