In this experiment characteristics such as: flower diameter and floret counting, vase life and leaf chlorophyll content were evaluated. Highest vase life showed in cut rose treated with 20 ¦ÌM SNP and cut sunflower treated with 60 ¦ÌM SNP. Results showed that SNP can increase vase life of cut rose, sunflower and lisianthus. %K sodium nitroprusside %K vase life %K rose %K sunflower %K lisianthus %K list of open access journals %K open access %K open access journals %K open access publication %K open access publisher %K open access publishing %K open access journal articles %K imedpub %K imedpub publishing %K insight medical publishing %K imedpub online %U https://www.imedpub.com/articles/improvement-of-vase-life-of-cut-rose-sunflower-and-lisianthus-with-sodium-nitroprusside.php?aid=15457
