Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure provides methods and compositions for modulating ethylene and auxin signaling and ethylene production in plants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preserving cut flowers comprising contacting cut flowers with a composition comprising pamoic acid or a derivative thereof, in an effective amount to preserve cut flowers. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pamoic acid has a general structure as shown in Formula I or Formula II: wherein R1 and R5, which may be the same or different, are COOR 6 , in which R 6 is H or a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain, with from 1 to 5 carbons atoms; R2 and R4, which may be the same or different, are H or OH; and R3 is —(CH 2 ) n —, wherein n is an integer of 1. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein R 1 and R 5 are —COOCH(CH 3 ) 2 ; R 2 and R 4 are —OH; and is R 3 —CH 2 —.
