Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating a mixed type of produce with a cyclopropene, as well as methods of treating plant or plant parts in an environment comprising exogenous ethylene methods with a cyclopropene. The methods described herein exhibit desirable properties and provide related advantages to benefit the quality and extend the freshness of produce and also reduce waste associated with the over-ripening of produce.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method of treating plants or plant parts comprising the step of contacting said plants or plant parts with at least one composition comprising at least one double bond adducted cyclopropene compound.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods of inhibiting ethylene responses in plants and plant materials, and particularly relates to methods of inhibiting various ethylene responses including plant maturation and degradation, by exposing plants to cyclopropene derivatives and compositions thereof wherein: 1) at least one substituent on the cyclopropene ring contains a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, or 2) . a substituent contains silicon, sulfur, phosphorous, or boron, or 3) least one substituent contains from one to four non-hydrogen atoms and at least one substituent contains more than four non-hydrogen atoms.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods of inhibiting ethylene responses in plants and plant materials, and particularly relates to methods of inhibiting various ethylene responses including plant maturation and degradation, by exposing plants to cyclopropene derivatives and compositions thereof wherein the cyclopropene is associated with another ring system.
