    Product Description

    Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG) is an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor and a plant growth regulator.1 It inhibits ethylene production in, and elongation of, maize root tips when used at a concentration of 1 μM. AVG also inhibits cystathionine β-lyase and cystathionine γ-lyase (Kis = 1.1 and 10.5 μM, respectively).2 It delays color change from green to red and maintains fruit firmness, markers of fruit ripening, in postharvest tomatoes when used at a concentration of 1 mM.3 Formulations containing aminoethoxyvinyl glycine have been used as plant growth regulators in agriculture.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
