The ethylene action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) prevents plant tissues from responding to ethylene ( Sisler and Blankenship, 1996 ) by combining with ethylene receptors ( Sisler and Serek, 1997 ). Impacts of 1-MCP demonstrated for many
making possible the cDNA–AFLP experiments at the Department of Molecular Biology (Ghent University, Belgium) and Giovanni Regilori (Rohm and Haas) for kindly providing free samples of 1-MCP.
