the process of ethylene production from ethane dehydrogenation is one of the interesting processes in the field of conversion the petroleum light gases to the valuable products. in this process, the outlet gaseous product is a combination of ethylene, ethane and hydrogen. effective separation techniques are required for separation of ethylene from unreacted ethane. here a new adsorbent approach...

ansi/ashrae 110-95 protocol is a widely acceptable method to assess the performance of laboratory hoods. in this test, sulfur hexafluoride (sf6) is applied as a tracer gas to quantitatively evaluate the performance of laboratory hoods. the environmentally hostile characteristics of sf6 as well as its cost are the major concerns. in the present study, the substitution of ethylene with sf6 in the...

The relationship between abscission and the evolution of ethylene and CO(2) was examined in explants and explant segments of cotton seedlings (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Acala SJ-1) under both static and flow system conditions, and in the presence and absence of mercuric perchlorate. Explant excision was immediately followed by increased ethylene evolution (wound ethylene); senescence was also a...

The rates of ethylene production per unit mass of Mucor hiemalis are highest at low specific growth rates. Thus this fungus probably produces more ethylene in the soil, where growth rates are low, than would have been predicted by laboratory batch culture, where growth rates are high. The rate of utilization of energyyielding substrate by Mucor hiemalisincreases logarithmically with growth rate...

Ethylene has long been known to be a critical signal controlling the ripening of climacteric fruits; however, the signaling mechanism underlying ethylene production during fruit development is unknown. Here, we report that two FERONIA-like receptor kinases (FERLs) regulate fruit ripening by modulating ethylene production in the climacteric fruit, apple (Malus×domestica). Bioinformatic analysis ...

Ethylene production in pear fruit was studied at 2 degrees C. Several observations showed that the inhibiting effect of CO2 on ethylene production did not operate only via the binding site of the ethylene binding protein. Ethylene production of freshly harvested pears was stimulated by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), but unaffected or inhibited by CO2 which points to different action sites for bo...

broccoli (brassica oleracea l. cv premium crop) florets were packaged using two types of polymeric films (polyethylene, ld & polypropylene cast) and then stored at 1?c for 18 days to study the effect of passive and active map (1.5%o2+7.5%co2) on preservation of quality and nutritional value as compared to non-wrapped control florets. during storage, weight loss, rate of ethylene production, qua...

A bstract. Kinetin in concentrations of 10-e to 10-4 M, stimuated ethylene production in 3 and 4-day old etiolated seedlings of Alaska pea (Pisucm sativum L. var. Ala-ka). Seedlings of other species responded similarly. The response to kinetin depended on the age of the seedlings. Kinetin alone did not influence ethylene production in 6-day old stem sections, but it greatly increased the enhanc...

The rhizobitoxine analog, L-2-amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-trans-3-butenoic acid (Ro), which effectively inhibits ethylene production in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and other tissues at concentrations at about 68 micromolar, inhibited ethylene production by about 50 to 70% in green tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit slices but only by about 15% in pink and ripe tomato tissue slices. Eth...
