Injury to rice plants caused by complete submergence: a contribution by ethylene (ethene).
This is because ethene does not have any substituent groups that influence the stability of the propagation head of the polymer.
In addition to benzene, acetylene and ethene, pyridine also decomposes on ruthenium surfaces, leaving bound fragments on the surface.
Commercial growers of bromeliads, including pineapple plants, use ethene to induce flowering.
Inhibiting ethene synthesis is less effective for reducing post-harvest losses since ethene from other sources can still have an effect.
Inhibitors of ethene perception include compounds that have a similar shape to ethene, but do not elicit the ethene response.
Frequently, loss of ethene gas is used to drive the reaction towards a desired product.
Oxidative chlorination of ethane has long appeared to be a potentially more economical route to vinyl chloride than ethene chlorination.
