Because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond, ethylene is classified as an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Ethylene is widely used in industry and also has a role in biology as a hormon ..

Application

Ethylene shortens the shelf life of many fruits by hastening fruit ripening and floral senescence . Tomatoes , bananas and apples will ripen faster in the presence of ethylene. Bananas placed next to other fruits will produce enough ethylene to cause accelerated fruit ripening.

Ethylene will shorten the shelf life of cut flowers and potted plants by accelerating floral senescence and floral abscission

Flowers and plants which are subjected to stress during shipping, handling, or storage produce ethylene causing a significant reduction in floral display.

Flowers affected by ethylene include carnation , geranium , petunia , rose , and many others.

Ethylene can cause significant economic losses for florists, markets, suppliers, and growers.

Commercial growers of bromeliads , including pineapple plants, use ethylene to induce flowering.

Plants can be induced to flower either by treatment with the gas in a chamber, or by placing a banana peel next to the plant in an enclosed area.
