Abstract

Abstract A hot water (46° ± 1°C for 1 hr) treatment accelerated sprouting from gladiolus corms (Gladiolus sp.) and Easter lily bulbs (Lilium longiflorum). The respiration rate increased in both corms and bulbs after the hot water treatment. Ethanol was produced in corm and scale tissues immediately after the treatment, but no enhancement of ethylene production was observed.
