Fig. 5: Scheme showing biosynthesis and metabolism of ethylene in plant tissues

Fig. 6: Binding of ethylene molecule with the receptor “Unlocks” the receptor and leads to a chemical reaction in the plant tissue (diagram by jenny Bower, Department of pomology. UC Davis)

Fig. 7: When 1-menthycyclopropene (-MCP) binds to the ethylene receptor. It does not “unlock” the receptor and remains looked to the receptor and receptor and remains locked to the receptor preventing the binding of ethylene and the chemical reaction does not occur (diagram by jenny bower Department of pomology, UG Davis).
