Abstract: The relationship of physiological and biochemical characteristics with the vase life of cut peony flowers was studied. Six cuhivars, including Chunxiao, Shanhe Red, Qihua Zhenglu, Zifeng Chaoyang, Linghua Chenyu and Lanhai Bibo were investigated. The results showed that during the vase-holding, free proline content declined first and then increased;soluble sugar content, soluble protein content and Mg content increased first and then declined. K content of some cultivars increased first and then declined, the others declined. Mg content had with the vase life, soluble protein content had with it. Free praline content had with it. K content and soluble sugar had little correlation with it.

Key words: Cut peony flower, Vase life, Physiological and biochemical characteristics
