Effects of ethephon on ethephon residue and quality properties of chili pepper during pre-harvest ripening

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2020
The application of ethephon was investigated to examine its effects on both ethephon residue and quality properties of chili peppers during pre-harvest ripening with the goal of facilitating maximum commercial harvest along with improving color and flavor. A single ethephon treatment significantly increased L* and a* values and capsanthin concentration,

Effects of ethephon on macadamia racemes

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1987
SummaryEthephon sprays applied to Macadamia integrifolia trees caused the abortion of elongating racemes. The critical concentration of ethephon for early raceme damage was between 400 and 800 mg l−1. Dormant racemes were less sensitive, and rapidly elongating racemes more sensitive to ethephon damage.

Ethephon as a Morphological Regulator for Corn

Agronomy Journal, 1989
AbstractEthephon (2‐chloroethyl phosphonic acid) has been used to reduce ear height in order to improve lodging resistance of corn (Zea mays L.). However, untimely applications may reduce area of photosynthetically important ear leaves. Thus our objective was to determine the range of plant development stages over which ear height reduction could be ...

On the mechanism of genotoxicity of ethephon on embryonic fibroblast cells

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2017
Ethephon is one of the most widely used plant growth regulator in agriculture that its application has been increased in recent years. Many reports have raised concern over the safety of this organophosphorus compound. The aim of the current study was to assess the potential genotoxic effect of ethephon on murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell line ...

Specificity of Ethephon as a Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitor and Phosphorylating Agent

Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2002
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is inhibited by the plant growth regulator (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) as observed 25 years ago both in vitro and in vivo in rats and mice and more recently in subchronic studies at low doses with human subjects. The proposed mechanism is phosphorylation of the BChE active site at S198 by ethephon dianion. The

Suppression of Annual Bluegrass Seedheads with Mefluidide, Ethephon, and Ethephon plus Trinexapac‐Ethyl on Creeping Bentgrass Greens

Agronomy Journal, 2013
Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is a problematic weed on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting greens. Annual bluegrass produces extensive seedheads in spring, and plant growth regulators (PGRs) are frequently used to suppress seedhead formation.

Ethephon and Nitrogen Use in Winter Wheat

Agronomy Journal, 1989
AbstractThe plant growth regulator ethephon ([2‐chloroethyl] phosphoric acid) has often been used to reduce height and lodging of intensively managed soft red winter (SRW) wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) em. Thell]. The effect of ethephon on traits that determine grain yield has not been widely studied.
