This invention discloses a nano-bandage for preserving cut flowers, belonging to the field of horticultural technology. The nano-bandage consists of a polymer carrier and a bactericide encapsulated therein. The polymer is a mixture of PEG and PDMAEMA. By adjusting the mass fraction and total concentration of PDMAEMA, the particle size of the nanoparticles can be controlled, and their surface can be positively charged. It is prepared using microfluidic co-assembly technology, where the drug-containing organic phase and aqueous phase are instantaneously mixed and purified by dialysis. This nano-bandage actively targets and persistently accumulates on the negatively charged cut surface of fresh cut flowers using electrostatic interactions, forming a physical barrier. It also synergistically inhibits microbial infection through slow-release bactericide and charge adsorption, while its nano-size does not affect vascular function. This invention achieves precise and long-lasting protection for cut flower wounds, significantly extending vase life with extremely low dosage, and has the advantages of high efficiency, safety, and intelligent adjustability.

The application discloses a preservative solution for prolonging the life of cut flowers of Impatiens walleriana and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of postharvest preservation technology of Impatiens walleriana. The preservative solution is composed of glucose, gibberellin, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, citric acid and deionized water in a specific proportion, wherein the glucose is 3.0% (w / v), the gibberellin is 25 mg / L, the 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate is 100 mg / L, the citric acid is 80 mg / L, and the balance is deionized water. When the preservative solution is prepared, the gibberellin is first dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare an alcohol-soluble mother liquor, the 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate is dissolved in deionized water to prepare an aqueous mother liquor, and then the glucose and the citric acid solution are mixed step by step and constant volume is performed, so that a uniform transparent preservative solution is finally prepared. According to the scheme, the cell membrane integrity of the cut flowers of Impatiens walleriana can be effectively maintained, petal browning and water loss can be delayed, the best viewing period and the vase life of the cut flowers can be significantly prolonged, the commodity value can be improved, raw materials are conventional, the process is simple, and the scheme is suitable for large-scale application.

The invention provides a method for estimating a vase-life of a cut plant product (1), wherein the cut plant product (1) is selected from the group comprising a cut flower and cut foliage, wherein the method comprises: (A) a cooling stage comprising subjecting the cut plant product (1) to a cooling temperature (Tc) for a cooling duration (tc), wherein the cooling temperature (Tc) is selected from the range of 0 — 10 °C, and wherein the cooling duration (tc) 10 is selected from the range of 0.5 — 4 weeks; (B) a detection stage comprising detecting acoustic emission radiation (2) from the cut plant product (1) and providing an emission-related signal (3), and (C) an analysis stage comprising determining a settling time (Is) based on the emissionrelated signal (3), and determining the vase-life based on the settling time (Is).
