The invention discloses a method for promoting flower fragrance release of
dendrobium violaceum by utilizing exogenous
melatonin, and belongs to the technical field of
plant fragrance regulation and
plant growth regulation. According to the method,
melatonin is externally applied to regulate and control the physiological process of the flowering phase of the
dendrobium purple petals, accumulation and volatilization of floral substances are enhanced, and the concentration and durability of fragrance are improved; specifically, according to the method, when flower buds of the
dendrobium violaceum are about 2 cm long in the flower
bud stage,
melatonin solution is applied in a spraying and root flushing mode, the concentration is preferably (500 + / -100) micromol / L, preferably, the melatonin solution is applied at 10: 00 in the
morning, the temperature is controlled to be 25-30 DEG C, the
humidity is controlled to be 60%-75%, and the illumination period of 12-hour illumination and 12-hour
darkness is set for cultivation; release of flower fragrance substances of the purple
petal dendrobium is effectively promoted, the variety and content of fragrance components are increased, the lasting time of the flower fragrance is prolonged, meanwhile, the
stress resistance and the ornamental value of plants are enhanced, and the method has important application prospects in improvement of the ornamental value of dendrobium plants and research and development of products.
