Effect of 1-MCP on Cotton Plants under Abiotic Stress Caused by Ethephon

Abstract

Many environmental stress factors have been identified to increase square and boll abscission and thus result in reduced cotton yield. Under stress conditions, ethylene is elicited. Ethylene peaks before abscission to promote the formation of the abscission layer and plays a major role in early season square and boll abortion in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). In addition, ethylene stimulates the leaf senescence process. Thus, it is desirable to protect plants from ethylene-induced fruit loss and premature leaf senescence under stress conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of 1-methylcyclopropene (

Effects of salt stress on rice growth, development characteristics, and the regulating ways: A review

“…The physiological and molecular responses of 1-MCP involved the positive ACO, ACS, cell wall transforming enzyme activity, and GhCel1 gene expression in plant leaf abscission region, and reduced breaking tissue due to ethylene reduction (Mishra et al 2008a, b). Further, 1-MCP application enhanced photosystem II quantum efficiency, greater membrane integrity and delayed senescence (Chen et al 2014).…”
