Tulip bud length (A) and diameter (B) in postharvest as a function of the treatment solutions used. Different letters in each subfigure and assessment date indicate statistical differences according to the LSD test with P ≤ 0.05. (Bud length: 3 dac P = 0.0016; 5 dac P = < 0.0001; 7 dac P = < 0.0001; 9 dac P = < 0.0001; 11 dac P = < 0.0001. Bud diameter: 3 dac P = < 0.0001; 5 dac P = < 0.0001; 7 dac P = < 0.0001; 9 dac P = < 0.0001; 11 dac P = < 0.0001). Control: distilled water; AsA: L-ascorbic acid, 0.2 g/L; LaCl3: lanthanum(III) chloride, 40 µM; La(NO3)3 × 6H2O: lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate, 40 µM. Data are means ± SD of six biological replicates.
