The intact fruits of preclimacteric tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) or cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.) produced very little ethylene and had low capability of converting 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene. When these unripe tomato or cantaloupe fruits were treated with ethylene for 16 hours there was no increase in ACC content or in ethylene production rate, but the tiss...

Past studies on the toxicological effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers as well as the recent data on these chemicals in Japan are reviewed. Only a few researchers have participated in the study of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in Japan. The effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers on testis and embryotoxic effects of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGM) have been studied, as has the teratoge...

eethylene polymerization catalysts became available in an enormous variety. the challenge in this research is to find catalysts that are able to connect ethylene molecules in such a way that not only linear chains are produced but variations like branched materials that possess very interesting mechanical properties like linear low density polyethylene (lldpe). in this contribution, three diffe...

ansi/ashrae 110-95 protocol is a widely acceptable method to assess the performance of laboratory hoods. in this test, sulfur hexafluoride (sf6) is applied as a tracer gas to quantitatively evaluate the performance of laboratory hoods. the environmentally hostile characteristics of sf6 as well as its cost are the major concerns. in the present study, the substitution of ethylene with sf6 in the...

Ethylene production from beam and tobacco leaves increased rapidly following the application of toxic compounds such as CuSO(4), Endothal, and ozone. Treatments which increased ethylene evolution also increased the conversion of U-(14)C-methionine into ethylene. Cycloheximide inhibited the production of chemical stress-induced ethylene. These results suggest that ethylene is produced by the sam...

Desa Ranto Sabon is a marginal area in Aceh Jaya District, Province. The village owns natural resources which can be developed into tourist attractions to encourage the development of Innovation and Tourism Village. Designing tourism are carried out using three methods, cover Penta Helix collaboration, designing roadmap, conducting technical workshop. collaboration involves stakeholders from go...

The electrochemical behavior of 6063 aluminum alloy in ethylene glycol-water mixture was investigated by polarization curves and AC impedance measurements (EIS).  The results obtained from polarization curves showed that corrosion rate decreased with increasing ethylene glycol concentration. EIS data showed the decrease in the interface capacitance which caused by adsorption of ethylene glycol ...

In this work, the effect of ethylene on flower opening of cut rose (Rosa hybrida) cv. Samantha was studied. However, although ethylene hastened the process of flower opening, 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), an ethylene action inhibitor, impeded it. Ethylene promoted ethylene production in petals, but 1-MCP did not inhibit this process. Of the four ethylene biosynthetic genes tested, Rh-ACS1 and R...

Plants use ethylene gas as a signal to regulate myriad developmental processes and stress responses. The Arabidopsis EIN3 protein is a key transcription factor mediating ethylene-regulated gene expression and morphological responses. Here, we report that EIN3 protein levels rapidly increase in response to ethylene and this response requires several ethylene-signaling pathway components includin...
