TL;DR: It is indicated that a high endogenous carbohydrate status decreases the postharvest ethylene sensitivity in unrooted shoot-tip cuttings of lantana, and significant improvement of post-harvest storage quality in vegetative lantanas could be achieved by harvesting cuttments late in the day and treating with 1-MCP.
