Ethylene is a kind of gas with small molecule, which can promote the yellowing, after-ripening, aging and drop of vegetable leaves. Yellowing is an important feature for the aging of vegetables after being picked and is proved that ethylene resolves its chlorophyll; therefore, its aging process is closely related to ethylene. Broccoli will be seriously yellowed because of ethylene with low concentration, most of leaf vegetables are yellowed when meeting with ethylene and some of leaves will fall off. Some fruit vegetables, such as cucumber, will yellow because of ethylene. In addition, ethylene will lead to fibrosis of stem vegetables. For example, the harvesting cut of asparagus and bamboo shoots will generate ethylene which can promote the fibrosis of cut base in advance and the fibrosis will extend to shoot tips to decrease the edible parts. Ethylene can also degrade some vegetables, for example, it causes stored carrots to have bitter taste and causes lettuce to generate brown spots because of ethylene.
