This Research Topic is part of the Quality of Ornamental Crops: Effect of Genotype, Preharvest, and Improved Production Chains on Quality Attributes of Ornamental Crops series. Acceptance of ornamental crops depends on a large extent on flower color, fragrance and shape. Flower number and size, uniformity of blooming, as well as plant shape, patterning and color determine the crop's appeal. Vase life, or postharvest quality retention, involves preserving specific features such as flower color and scent. In addition, leaf and stem color, plant shape, and development should occur within particular ranges, while pests and diseases must be absent. Thus, genotype, growing conditions, harvest practices and postharvest conditions contribute to maintaining quality after harvest.
