ethylenetrigger
Ethylene trigger, or ethylenetrigger, is a term that appears infrequently in scientific literature and is not part of a standardized vocabulary. It generally refers to a trigger or activation mechanism that is governed by the presence or action of ethylene, the simple molecule C2H4 that also functions as a plant hormone.
In polymer chemistry and materials science, ethylenetrigger may be used informally to describe systems in which
In horticulture and postharvest biology, ethylene is well known for triggering fruit ripening and other developmental
In sensing and smart materials, researchers explore ethylene-responsive systems that produce color changes, fluorescence, or electrical
