Abstract:
A method for retarding an ethylene response in a plant or plant part comprising the step of contacting the plant or plant part with an ethylene response retarding amount of benzocyclopropene and/or naphtho[b]cyclopropane.

Claim (Index 2):
The method for retarding an ethylene response in a plant or plant part in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the ethylene response is selected from the ripening and/or softening of fruits and vegetables, colour loss in vegetables, reduced browning in minimally produced fruits and vegetables, shattering losses of pods and crop plants, senescence of flowers, abscission of foliage, flowers and fruit, the prolongation of the life of plants such as potted plants, cut flowers and dormant seedlings, the inhibition of growth and the stimulation of growth, adverse effects caused by stress [biotic and abiotic (wounding and mechanical stress, water stress, salinity, flooding/hypoxia, chilling, ozone injury)], degeneration of chlorophyll, increasing yields, increasing disease resistance, facilitating interactions with herbicides, increasing resistance to freeze injury, hormone or epinasty effects, hastening ripening and colour promotion in fruit, abscission of foliage, flowers and fruit, increasing flowering and fruiting, abortion or inhibition of flowering and seed development, prevention of lodging, stimulation of seed germination and breaking of dormancy, facilitating interactions with other growth regulators, auxin activity, inhibition of terminal growth, control of apical dominance, increase in branching, increase in tillering and changing biochemical compositions of plants.
