Ethephon-induced Flowering in Apple Seedlings1
HortScience, 1974 Abstract (2-Chloroethyl) phosphonic acid (ethephon) applied as a foliar spray at 1000 and 2000 ppm to 3-, 4-, and 5-yr old nonbearing seedlings of apple (Malus pumila Miller) significantly increased the percentage of trees flowering for the first time and the total number of flower clusters per tree.

Genotoxic effect of ethephon on the root meristems of Allium cepa L. [PDF]
Communications in Plant Sciences, 2014 Genotoxic effect of ethephon [(2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid], a PGR that has replaced calcium carbide as an agent for fruit ripening, was studied by using a root chromosome assay.

Ethephon as Harvest-aid for Muscadine Grapes1
HortScience, 1980 Abstract (2-Chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) was applied at 0, 570, 1000 and 2000 ppm to muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia Mich. cv. Hunt), 1, 2, or 3 days before once-over harvest. All ethephon treatments increased berry abscission and reduced skin tear due to harvest when berries were harvested 2 days or 3 days after spraying.

Ethephon hastens ripening of Japanese plums
California Agriculture, 1977 Reported effects of the growth regulator ethephon on fruit maturity in many crops include earlier skin color changes, earlier flesh softening, and occasional increases in soluble solids. In 1975, preharvest ethephon applications on Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) were evaluated for their influence on fruit maturation and postharvest ripening.
