The most effective ways to conduct such interference will be reviewed in this paper. A large number of chemical compounds have been evaluated for their effects on ethylene production and perception. Among these are a range of strained olefines. This has resulted in the discovery that cyclopropenes, among them 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and a number of other substituted cyclopropenes effectively block ethylene responses at the receptor level. A lot of testing remains to be done to uncover the full potential of these compounds, but they do offer promising new ways to extend the postharvest life of ornamentals. Also genetic modification appears to be a very effective way in controlling of ethylene synthesis and perception. Attempts to use both a reduced endogenous ethylene production and a reduced sensitivity to ethylene will be reviewed.

Studies showed it was a competitive inhibitor of ethylene responses, and knowledge that ethylene antagonists like ethylene agonists bound to silver in the same order as they were active as inhibitors was obtained. Ring strain appeared to be a primary factor that led to trans-cyclooctene then to diazocyclopentadiene. This same concept allowed for the use of chemical concepts that lead to cyclopropenes.

The deduced protein sequence of this gene shows a similarity to those of several plant α/β hydrolase gene family members, which are known to be involved in secondary metabolism. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that EIE mRNA was induced by ethylene within 4 h and accumulated to a very high level 24 h after the initiation of ethylene treatment. Induction of EIE by ethylene could be counteracted by 1‐methylcyclopropene, a potent ethylene perception inhibitor, indicating that the expression of EIE is ethylene‐dependent. The bacterially expressed protein of EIE was recognized by antiserum against Pir7b, a naphthol AS esterase induced in rice by the non‐host pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. The EIE protein was identified in ethylene‐treated leaves using anti‐Pir7b antibodies.

Shamouti), with 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP), induced endogenous ethylene production when leaves were further incubated in air. The induction of ethylene production was 1‐MCP concentration‐dependent. Abscission was concomitantly delayed. In leaves pre‐treated with 1‐MCP followed by exposure to ethylene, abscission was significantly delayed in comparison with those without 1‐MCP pre‐treatment. When leaf explants were co‐treated for 24 h with ethylene and 1‐MCP, abscission was delayed quite efficiently. The Lineweaver‐Burke plot yielded a half‐maximal value of 0.234 μl l−1 for the effect of ethylene on abscission. 1‐MCP−1 competed kinetically with ethylene with a Ki value of approximately 1.4−5.5 nl l−1 1‐MCP. Under these experimental conditions there was some competition between 1‐MCP and ethylene. However, ethylene was not able to completely counteract the inhibitory effect of 1‐MCP. Pre‐treatment with 1‐MCP, followed by exogenous ethylene treatment, suppressed the induction of endo‐β‐glucanase (EG) activity at the laminar abscission zone. The ethylene‐dependent accumulation of the hydrolyse gene was demonstrated by blocking the accumulation of CsCel a1 mRNA by 1‐MCP. Six hours of exposure of leaves to 1‐MCP at various times during a total of 24 h ethylene treatment efficiently reversed ethylene induction of CsCel a1 gene at mRNA level up to 18 h.

               Ethylene perception in Arabidopsis is controlled by a family of five genes, including ETR1, ERS1(ethylene response sensor 1), ERS2, ETR2, and EIN4. ERS1, the most highly conserved gene with ETR1, encodes a protein with 67% identity to ETR1. To clarify the role of ERS1 in ethylene sensing, we biochemically characterized the ERS1 protein by heterologous expression in yeast. ERS1, like ETR1, forms a membrane-associated, disulfide-linked dimer. In addition, yeast expressing the ERS1 protein contains ethylene-binding sites, indicating ERS1 is also an ethylene-binding protein. This finding supports previous genetic evidence that isoforms of ETR1 also function in plants as ethylene receptors. Further, we used the ethylene antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to characterize the ethylene-binding sites of ERS1 and ETR1. We found 1-MCP to be both a potent inhibitor of the ethylene-induced seedling triple response, as well as ethylene binding by yeast expressing ETR1 and ERS1. Yeast expressing ETR1 and ERS1 showed nearly identical sensitivity to 1-MCP, suggesting that the ethylene-binding sites of ETR1 and ERS1 have similar affinities for ethylene.}, number={4}, journal={PLANT PHYSIOLOGY}, author={Hall, AE and Findell, JL and Schaller, GE and Sisler, EC and Bleecker, AB}, year={2000}, month={Aug}, pages={1449–1457} }

Osbeck) leaf explants completely abscise within 48 h when exposed to saturating amounts of ethylene at 25°C. When 2,5‐norbornadiene was added, 2000 μl 1−1 reduced abscission of explants also exposed to 2 μl 1−1 of ethylene to the level of the control, and 8000 μl 1−1 reduced abscission in explants exposed to 10 μl 1−1 of ethylene to the level of the control, but abscission was complete when 1 000 μl 1−1 of ethylene was used in the presence of 8 000 μl 1−1 of 2,5‐norbornadiene. When explants were exposed to 2 μl 1−1 of ethylene, 2000 μl 1−1 of 2,5‐norbornadiene prevented abscission if applied up to 10 h after exposure to ethylene. After 18 h, applied 2,5‐norbornadiene had little effect on abscission at 48 h. A Lineweaver‐Burk plot gave a 1/2 maximum value of 0.12 μl 1−1 for ethylene on abscission, 2,5‐Norbornadiene gave competitive kinetics with respect to ethylene with a K1 value of approximately 120 μl 1−1 of 2,5‐norbornadiene. The presence of 2,5norbornadiene stimulated ethylene production, which progressively increased as the 2,5‐norbornadiene concentration was increased from 250 to 8 000 μl 1−1 2,5‐Norbornadiene also suppressed the induction of cellulase and polygalacturonase by ethylene. Together, 2,5‐norbornadiene and 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were more effective than either alone in reducing abscission. 2,5‐Norbornadiene also was effective in preventing the reduction of indole‐3‐acetic acid transport induced by ethylene.}, number={1}, journal={PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM}, author={SISLER, EC and GOREN, R and HUBERMAN, M}, year={1985}, pages={114–120} }
