Ethylene in Post-harvest Quality Management of Horticultural Crops: A Review
Abstract: Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant hormone that is produced by many fruits and vegetables. It initiates the ripening process when internal concentrations increase to 0.1 to 1.0 ppm. Externally applied ethylene can also initiate the ripening process in climacteric fruits. Ethylene is flammable at a concentration of 3.1–32% in air. The minimum flammable concentration of 3.1% or 31,000 ppm is about 200 times the concentration suggested for tomato ripening. …

Impact of invading fish on native species
Abstract: The term "alien species" refers to organisms that have been intentionally or unintentionally introduced outside of their natural range. These organisms have the ability to establish self-sustaining populations, spread beyond the initial point of introduction, and have a negative impact on the environment and the economy. Through crossbreeding with closely related native species, these fish with diverse genetic make-up cause the formation of a new group of organisms with different …
