The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the propagation stage and ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP on the sensitivity of Impatiens hawkeri 'Super Sonic White' and 'Super Sonic Red' to ethylene and simulated shipment. Nine combinations of the propagation stage (1 = unrooted; 2 = callused; 3 = rooted), 1-MCP treatment (0 or 700 nL L-1) followed by ethylene treatment (0 or 1 µL L-1), and storage duration (0 or 2 days) were administered. Impatiens cuttings that were stored after being propagated to Stage 3 had the most yellow/necrotic leaves, while overall, 'Super Sonic White' had more than 'Super Sonic Red'. In both cultivars, cuttings propagated until Stage 3, before any gas treatment or storage, took the most propagation days to reach Stage 3 and had the lowest root fresh and dry weights. Stage 1 cuttings stored for 2 days reached Stage 3 in fewer days than unstored cuttings, such that if the 2-day storage was counted towards propagation days, the difference between unstored and stored cuttings was negligible. Cuttings treated with ethylene, and stored for 2 days at Stage 2, reached Stage 3 in the least number of propagation days. Most postharvest parameters were not significantly affected by 1-MCP. Cuttings treated with 1-MCP prior to ethylene took slightly longer to root than cuttings just treated with ethylene, but differences were ≤0.6 days. In summary, root development continued on cuttings in storage indicated that short term storage may be beneficial.}, journal={VII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGING QUALITY IN CHAINS (MQUIC2017) AND II INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ORNAMENTALS IN ASSOCIATION WITH XIII INTERNATIONAL PROTEA RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM}, author={Crawford, B.

Cuttings were of higher quality and produced more robust root systems when a propagation cycle started in summer vs. fall or spring even when cuttings were harvested from stock plants of the same age. Cutting week within a propagation cycle significantly influenced postpropagation cutting quality and rooting when cuttings were harvested over many weeks from the same stock plants and when cuttings were harvested for three propagation events using stock plants of different ages. When cuttings were harvested on the same days from stock plants of three distinct ages, cuttings harvested in the first week were larger with greater root weights but had more yellowed leaves and lower quality ratings compared with the two subsequent cutting weeks, but stock plant age had no effect on any observed parameter. Treatment with rooting compound did not overcome the significant influences of season and cutting week within a propagation cycle whether rooting was carried out in a greenhouse or growth chamber. Shoot and root fresh and dry weights were positively correlated with both daylength and midday instantaneous light of the stock plant environment.}, number={5}, journal={HORTTECHNOLOGY}, author={Crawford, Brigitte D. and Dole, John M. and Bergmann, Ben A.}, year={2016}, month={Oct}, pages={620–627} } @inproceedings{dole_carlson_crawford_mccall_2013, title={Vase life of new cut flowers}, volume={1000}, DOI={10.17660/actahortic.2013.1000.6}, booktitle={Vii international symposium on new floricultural crops}, author={Dole, J.
