Saffron is one of the flowering plants in the world that is cultivated as a crop. This plant is very sensitive to ethylene and this causes it to be damaged in the marketing process. In order to investigate the effect of MCP-1 on recovery
Saffron flowers, a study was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with a time factor of using MCP-1 at 3 levels (11, 21 and 24 hours) in 3 replications and 11 experimental pallets with 5 flower plants in each pallet. The results of analysis of variance The data show that the effect of MCP-1 time on the measured traits including ethylene production, petal brix degree and petal protein amount was significant at the level of 1%. The comparison of the average treatments also shows
showed that the 24-hour MCP-1 treatment increased the flower life by 1.2 days and had the greatest effect.
