The present invention generally relates to the regulation of plant physiology, in particluar to methods for inhibiting the ethylene response in plants or plant products, and has two embodiments. The first embodiment relates to complexes formed from molecular encapsulation agents such as cyclodextrin, and cyclopropenes and its derivatives such as methylcyclopropene, in addition to cyclopentadiene and diazocyclopentadiene and their derivatives, thereby providing a convenient means for storing and transporting these compounds capable of inhibiting the ethylene response in plants, which are reactive gases and highly unstable because of oxidation and other potential reactions. The second embodiment relates to convenient methods of delivering to plants these compounds capable of inhibiting the ethylene response in the plants in order to extend their shelf life. |
