The minimum amount of a given compound required to inhibit chlorophyll degradation in the banana peel (an indicator of protective effect of the compound against ethylene action) that was subsequently exposed to ethylene, varied considerably depending on the compound, but N,N-dipropyl-(1-cyclopropenylmethyl)amine and N,N-di-(1-cyclopropenylmethyl)amine were the most effective. The degree of response to the ethylene inhibitory effect was similar for all of the compounds tested (32–34 d). The amount of cyclopropene compound required for inhibiting ethylene action following a 24 h exposure of bananas to the salt followed by a 15 h exposure to ethylene was higher than that required by the gas form used under the same conditions for the same effect. However, time of exposure could be much longer than 24 h with the salt than with the gas.

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.

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.

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.

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} } @article{sisler_pian_1973, title={Effect of ethylene and cyclic olefins on tobacco leaves}, volume={175}, number={10}, journal={Tobacco International}, author={Sisler, E.
