185 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 ) or dark (24 h) conditions at 68 °F until planting. Rhizome storage and culturing were conducted in growth chambers (Percival, Perry, IA or Environmental Growth Chambers, Chagrin Falls, OH). The environmental parameters remained

, and subsequently evaluation is done by a standard germination test. The AA test is correlated with field emergence and storage longevity of various crop seeds ( Association of Official Seed Analysts, 2009 ; TeKrony, 1995 ). However, AA conditions

Many plant species grown for cut flowers and foliage have specific postharvest handling guidelines. Implementation of these guidelines helps to maintain or improve quality throughout the supply chain. Keeping cut stems in cold storage is a

profuse flowering crop than when grown from seed ( Meynet, 1993 ), inconsistent sprouting, poor uniformity, and abnormal growth habit are common problems after storage (M.A. Mellano, personal communication). The influence of temperature and relative
