Examples of ethylene in the following topics:
-
- Ethylene is associated with fruit ripening, flower wilting, and leaf fall.
- Ethylene is unusual because it is a volatile gas (C2H4).
- These effects were caused by ethylene volatilizing from the lamps.
- Ethylene stimulates the conversion of starch and acids to sugars.
- Ethylene is widely used in agriculture.
-
- Ethylene and jasmonate are likely involved in thigmomorphogenesis.
-
- Five major plant hormones are traditionally described: auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, and abscisic acid.
-
- Applications of cytokinins and ethylene delay or prevent senescence; in contrast, abscissic acid causes premature onset of senescence.
