ISHS Acta Horticulturae 201: Manipulation of Ethylene Responses in Horticulture, XXII IHC
USE OF ETHYLENE BIOSYNTHESIS INHIBITORS IN HORTICULTURE |
| Author: | C. Wang |
| Abstract:
Inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis, including aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), aminooxyacetic acid (AOA), cobalt ion, free radical scavengers, low O2 atmospheres, polyamines, and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation have been shown to cause various physiological effects in horticultural crops. The mechanism by which these inhibitors exert their effects is now better understood since the biosynthetic pathway of ethylene has been largely elucidated. These inhibitors have been used in a wide range of experiments. Their effects are reviewed and the implications of these findings for practical horticulture are discussed. | |
