  • Plant growth retardants in combination with inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or action
    Patent number: 5869424
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods of improving a plant growth factor. The compositions and methods contain combinations of plant growth regulators such as plant growth retardants and inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or action. The ethylene inhibitors comprise substituted oxime-ethers having the general formula: ##STR1## where R1 and R2 independently of one another are C1-C6-alkyl, n is 2 or 3 and R3 is hydrogen or C1-C6-alkyl. Specific inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or action include: {?(isopropylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(methoxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, {?(isopropylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(hexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, {{cyclohexylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(isopropyloxy)-2-oxyethyl ester (methoxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, ?((isopropylidene)-amino!oxy acetic acid, aminooxyacetic acid, aminoethoxyvinylglycine, rhizobitoxine, silver ions (e.g. silver thiosulfate), and 2,5-norbornadiene.
