The Content Changes of 4 Kind Substances in Lily Scale Cutting by Temperature-Controlled Method

The scales materials were from Oriental hybrid group (cv. Stargazer), Asiatic hybrid group (cv. Nove Cento) and Longiflorium hybrid group (Lilium formolongii). The content changes of the starch, protein, sugar and reduced sugar in lily scale treated by temperature-controlled method for cutting (i.e. continued-stored in 25℃ for 8 weeks,17℃ for 4 weeks and 4℃ for 8 weeks) were studied in present paper. The results indicated that there were direct relationships between changes of the four substance contents mentioned above with temperature phases. The changes of contents of four substances mentioned above were minor in Stargazer, more in other two cultivars.
