Esrel - Esrel

...It is still not clear how the ethylene produced is metabolized in the plant. Ethylene has long been used to ripen bananas and color citrus fruits, but because it is difficult to store and handle, sprays such as 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (brand name Ethrel), which decomposes easily and produces ethylene, have been developed in recent years and are widely used to promote fruit ripening. [Tsuji Hideo]...

From [Plant growth regulator]

…Ethylene is a plant hormone with the simplest chemical structure, and is known to be involved in a wide range of physiological phenomena. Therefore, chemicals that easily generate ethylene, such as 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (common name ethephon, brand name Ethrel), have been developed as plant growth regulators. Ethrel easily releases ethylene at a pH of 4 or higher, and is effective in promoting coloring of fruits, ripening, and leaf abscission. …

…生成されたエチレンが植物体内でどのように代謝されているかはまだよくわかっていない。 なおエチレンは,バナナなどの追熟,かんきつ類の催色に以前から実用されてきたが,保存・処理が困難なため,近年では容易に分解してエチレンを発生する2‐クロロエチルホスホン酸(商品名エスレル)などの散布剤が開発され,広く果実の成熟促進に用いられている。【辻 英夫】。…

【植物生長調節剤】より

…エチレンは最も簡単な化学構造を有する植物ホルモンで,多岐にわたる生理現象の発現に関与していることが知られている。したがって,容易にエチレンを発生する薬剤,例えば2‐クロロエチルホスホン酸(一般名エテホン,商品名エスレル)が,植物生長調節剤として開発された。エスレルはpH4以上で容易にエチレンを放出し,果実などの着色促進,熟期促進,落葉促進効果を示す。…
