Ethephon is a kind of organic phosphine plant growth regulator, it widely used  in agriculture, forestry, horticulture industry. Its effectiveness as a plant hormone is dependent on its rate of production versus its rate of escaping into the atmosphere. Ethylene is produced at a faster rate in rapidly growing and dividing cells, especially in darkness. With more ethylene in new growth and newly germinated seedlings produce, it can escape the plant, which leads to elevated amounts of ethylene, inhibiting leaf expansion.
