Ethephon is an organophosphorus plant growth regulator with low toxicity. The preparation is a strong acid water agent, which is very stable in an acidic medium, and decomposes to release ethylene when the pH is above 4. Under certain conditions, ethephon can not only release ethylene by itself, but also induce plants to produce ethylene. It has the characteristics of promoting fruit ripening and coloring, promoting leaf and fruit shedding, dwarfing plants, changing the ratio of male and female flowers, and inducing male sterility in certain crops.
Ethephon - Mechanism of Action
Promote organ shedding: Ethephon can enhance the ability of ribonucleic acid synthesis in cells and promote protein synthesis. In plant abscission areas such as petioles, fruit stalks, and the base of petals, due to the increase in protein synthesis, de-cellulase is resynthesized in the abscission layer, and the formation of the abscission layer is accelerated, resulting in organ shedding.
Promote fruit ripening: ethephon can enhance the activity of enzymes, and can activate phosphatase and other enzymes related to fruit ripening when the fruit is ripe to promote fruit ripening. In senescent or susceptible plants, changes in peroxidase are caused by ethephon to promote protein synthesis.
Controlling prosperous growth: Ethylene can inhibit the synthesis of endogenous auxin and delay plant growth.
