Abstract: Effects of modified atmosphere packaging and 6-BA treatment on physiology of post-harvesting of Day-lily flowerwere studied at 2 ℃. The activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, the producing speed of superoxide freeradical and the contents of malondialdehyde was tested in the experiment. The results proved that both treatments not onlycould improve the activity of superoxide dismutase and inhibit the activity of peroxidase and catalase, the producing velocity ofsuperoxide free radical and yielding of malondialdehyde but also postpone the senescence of Day-lily flower. The effect ofcombining 6-BA treatment with modified atmosphere packaging treatment was better than the latter alone.

Key words: Day-lily flower, modified atmosphere packaging, 6-BA, post-harvesting physiology
