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,

Ethephon effects on barley in central Alberta

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Plant Science, 1991
Ethephon, a plant growth regulator used to prevent lodging in cereals, was tested on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars representing a cross-section of types grown in Alberta, Canada over a period of 5 yr. The study was conducted in two parts: in the first part (1983–1985), ethephon at 0.48 kg ha−1 was applied at Zadoks growth stage 45 to four ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Environmental factors affecting ethephon in olive

Scientia Horticulturae, 1978
Abstract Inconsistent results of ethephon in field experiments in olive ( Olea europaea L.) are attributed to climatic differences and irrigation regimes. Physical measurements, using 14 C-2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid ( 14 C-CEPA) at pH 6.3 indicated 60% degradation within 5 h at 40° C.
