Genome‐wide analysis of the AP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily plays a central role in plant metabolism, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Rheum officinale Baill. is an important traditional medicinal plant whose roots and rhizomes are rich in anthraquinones and other secondary metabolites.

CpERF‐WRI1 Manipulates Ethylene Sensing by Regulating the Expression of CpERS1 and Fruit Ripening in Papaya

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3550-3569, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethylene plays a crucial role in fruit ripening and is perceived by specialised receptor proteins embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. As an ethylene antagonist, 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) binds to these receptors and delays papaya ripening, but improper use can cause ripening disorders.

Application of Ethephon Manually or via Drone Enforces Bud Dormancy and Enhances Flowering Response to Chilling in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)

Horticulturae
Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is frequently used for flush management in order to maximize flowering in litchi. However, the optimal dosage of ethephon, which balances between flush control effect and the detrimental effect on leaves, is ...

Ethephon Time of Immersion and Concentration on ‘Carabao’ Mango Postharvest Ripening [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology
Mangoes are worldwide consumed fruits providing health benefits due to flavonoids content. Nevertheless, its quality may be affected along the supply chain and then ripening strategies after harvest must be optimized.

Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

Uptake and fate of ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) in dormant weed seeds

, 1987
Although ethephon ([2-chloroethyl]phosphonic acid) is often used as a form of liquid ethylene in studies of seed germination, it is not known if ethylene evolved from ethephon in the seed is sufficient to elicit the desired response and/or if ethephon ...

Inducing Macadamia Nut Drop with Ethephon

HortScience, 1983
Abstract Sprays of (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon), applied at the beginning of the harvest season (usually January), resulted in more than 90% nut drop of ‘Beaumont’ macadamia nuts, without causing damage to foliage or next year’s crop.

The 2024 European Union report on pesticide residues in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), the European Food Safety Authority publishes an annual report assessing pesticide residue levels in food. In 2024, 9842 samples were analysed as part of the EU‐coordinated multiannual control programme subset, of which 1.2% were found to be non‐compliant.

Ethephon for Postharvest Degreening of Oranges and Grapefruit1

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1972
Abstract Ethephon [Ethrel, (2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid, 2-CEPA] was tested on ‘Hamlin’ oranges in 2 seasons and on ‘Valencia’ oranges and ‘Marsh’ grapefruit in 1. In 1 picking, very green oranges, mature enough to degreen with gaseous ethylene (C 2 H ...

A review of the postharvest biochemical, biophysical and biological properties of 61 cultivars of North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1968-1980, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Fruit from the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is unfamiliar to many as a food crop and botanically unusual because it is the northernmost genus and only temperate member of the tropical Annonaceae family. It is the largest edible fruit native to North America.
