But something always happens to them in the pot at the nursery or in the vase on someone's kitchen table - leaves wilt; the blooms eventually die. And for many, this death tends to occur sooner rather than later. Ohio State University researchers with the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science are studying molecular and biochemical ways to delay the degradation and death (also known as senescence) of plant organs, such as leaves and flowers. By understanding the regulators that control senescence, researchers hope to identify genes that could be inhibited to delay the process and increase the quality and shelf-life of flowering plants.

This chef-grower trend - which has become increasingly popular in other parts of the country - reflects local efforts to restore, in an increasingly globalized food economy, the vital connection between those who grow our food and those who prepare it. The Buckeye state - with its 11 million residents, good road system, and numerous urban centers surrounded by farmland - may just have the right ingredients for this recipe. To help restore the vital connection between growers and chefs, OARDC scientists are looking at what crops are best to grow and what inputs are needed for optimum production.
