A trial was consummated at postharvest Lab. of Floriculture Res. Dept., Hort. Res. Inst., ARC, Giza, Egypt during 2011 and 2012 seasons. The aim was to study the effect of pulsing in distilled water (D.W.), silver thiosulfate (STS) at 1:4 mM, gibberellic acid (GA3) at 100 ppm and 100 ppm GA3 + 5% sucrose (suc.) solutions for 30 minutes. The flowers were then held in D.W. 2% suc. and 2% suc. + 200 ppm 8- hydroxyquinoline citrate (8-HQC) + 100 ppm GA3 solutions till the end of vase life and storage under either room temperature (21±1C) or cold storage at 0 and 2 C for 2 weeks, as well as their interactions on quality and longevity of Asiatic hybrid lily (Lilium longiflorum L. cv. Orange Tycoon) cut flowering stems. The layout of the experiment was a factorial arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates, as each replicate consisted of three cut flowering stems. The obtained results indicated that pulsing cut flowering stems of the used hybrid lily in 100 ppm GA3 + 5% suc. solution for 30 min. is the best treatment before transferring them to the preservative solution
