Ethylene and ethylene biosynthesis
The only hormone as a gas.
All living and non-living organism can generates ethylene, All materials under burning produces ethylene.
All fruits produces minute quantities of ethylene during development, but climacteric fruits produce much larger amounts ethylene during ripening than non-climacteric fruits.
This difference between the two classes is further exemplified by the internal ethylene concentration.
Ethylene as low as 0.1-1 µL/L for 1 day is sufficient to hasten full ripening of climacteric fruit.
