Ethephon bụ otu ihe dị ka ethylene. Ọ kachasị na - eme ka ikike ribonucleic acid njikọ na sel na - akwalite njikọ protein. Na mpaghara nkewa nke osisi dị ka petiole, nkpuru osisi, na isi ala, mmụba nke njikọ protein na-akwalite njikọta nke cellulase na akwa nkewa, nke na-eme ka usoro nkewapụ nkewa na-eduga na ịwụfu akụkụ. Ethephon nwere ike ịkwalite ọrụ nke enzymes ma mee ka phosphatase na enzymes ndị ọzọ metụtara mkpụrụ osisi chara acha mgbe mkpụrụ osisi chara acha, ma kwalite mkpụrụ osisi. N'ime osisi ma ọ bụ nke nwere ike ịnweta, Ethephon na-akwalite njikọ protein ma na-akpata mgbanwe peroxidase.

Ethephon nwere mmetụta nke na-akwalite iche iche ifuru nwanyị; akwalite ịmị mkpụrụ; na-akwalite dwarf osisi; agbasa osisi dormancy.

Ethephon bụ onye na-ahụ maka ihe ọkụkụ. O nwere ihe omumu nke aru ogwu na eme ka ihe omimi nke emulsions di ngwa ngwa, mee ka ndi mmadu megharia, ikwaa umu mmadu, ma kwalite okooko. Ethylene nwere ike wepụtara na mgbọrọgwụ, pods, epupụta, ị ga, okooko osisi na mkpụrụ osisi nke iji hazie metabolism, uto na mmepe nke osisi. Ọ nwere ike ịkwalite ntozu oke nke melons na mkpụrụ osisi dị iche iche, dị ka unere, citrus, tomato, watermelons, wdg, ọ nwere ike ịkwalite ịgbasapụ roba, sumac; ọ nwere ike ịkwalite mmalite okooko osisi nke ụmụ nwanyị na ifuru nwanyị ọzọ nke kukumba; ọ ga-eji mee ngwangwa ahụ ripening nke owu na ụtaba, na-inhibit osisi ibu, na-eme ka osisi mkpumkpu, agbaji mkpụrụ dormancy.

Ejiri ya na mmepụta nke roba, benzoin na lacquer, Ethephon nwere mmetụta dị ukwuu na mmepụtawanye na-abawanye. Ethephon na-akwalite ntozu oke nke owu, na-elekwasị anya na ịgbụpụ ọnụ, na-abawanye na tidbits, ma na-emezi akara, nke na-eme ka a na-arụ ọrụ nke na-akọ ugbo; enwere ike iji ya maka ịkọ cha banana na tomato, chara acha osikapa mbụ, ịcha ụcha akwụkwọ ụtaba, ịhazi okooko osisi painiapị, mgbanwe nwoke na nwanyị nke ifuru melon, nwoke ịga ọmụmụ ọka wit, na agba apụl na oroma.
