Cold Storage Period of Bulbs Influences Their Sugar Contents and Post-Storage Growth and Flowering in <i>Lilium</i> Oriental Hybrids

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in internal shoot growth, total and reducing sugar content, plant growth, and flowering characteristics after cold-stored bulbs of <i>Lilium</i> Oriental Hybrids are planted. Bulbs of <i>Lilium</i> Oriental Hybrids ‘Le Rev...
