臺灣具氣候優勢，有外銷火鶴花盆花的潛力。本研究探討貯運期間乙烯對不同火鶴花盆花品種貯後品質的影響，以及1-甲基環丙烯(1-MCP)及6-苄氨基嘌呤(BA)前處理 對保護乙烯危害之效果。吉果顯示六個品種火鶴花盆花於15oC的模擬黑暗環境貯運5天， 外施5 ML_L-1乙烯會增加葉片黃化、肉穗花序褐化、佛焰苞壞疽/萎凋之比例，參試品種 對乙烯之耐受性依序為‘Red Queen’ > ‘Fantasy Love’、‘True Love’ > ‘Red King’ > ‘Pink Love’ > ‘Red Victory’。以 50-150 mg.L-1 BA 或 6 小時 900 nL.L-1 1-MCP 前處理，可降低 乙烯造成‘Red Victory’之危害，其中BA的保護效果較1-MCP為佳。1-MCP可保護乙烯 對光系統II的破壞，维持佛焰苞的Fv/Fm值；但BA無法避免乙烯造成佛焰苞的Fv/Fm 下降。以100 mg_L-1 BA及900 nL_L-1 1-MCP的前處理，可避免火鶴花‘Red Victory’受乙 烯危害，有效维持貯後品質。

There is potential for Taiwan to export potted anthuriums, but cultivar storability and sensitivity remain unclear. This study aims to examine the effects of ethylene on post-storage quality and evaluate the effectiveness of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) pretreatment on the protection of sensitive cultivars. Six Anthurium cultivars were exposed to 0 or 5 ^L L"1 ethylene at 15oC for five days during dark storage. The exposure to ethylene accelerated leaf chlorosis, spathe necrosis or wilting, and spadix browning after dark storage. The storability and ethylene sensitivity of the six cultivars ranked as follows: ‘Red Queen' > ‘Fantasy Love' > 'True Love' > ‘Red King' > ‘Pink Love' > ‘Red Victory'. Pretreatment with 900 nL L-1 1-MCP for 6 h or 50-150 mg L-1 BA could reduce the ethylene injury in ‘Red Victory', while pretreatment with BA had better protection from ethylene injury than with 1-MCP. However, plants pretreated with BA had lower spathe Fv/Fm values than those with 1-MCP during the first 5 days after storage, and plants pretreated with both 900 nLL-1 1-MCP and 100 mgL-1 BA had the best post-storage quality and highest Fv/Fm values.
