在植株上用1ppmBR和1000ppm乙烯利处理番茄果实,两者均提高前期产量,表明RR和乙烯利有相似的催熟作用,但对总产量无显著影响.BR处理的果实品质较好,表现在可溶性固形物、可溶性糖、总糖及维生素含量都高于乙烯利处理.乙烯利有加速植株衰老的不利影响和降低果重的趋势,在这些方面,BR则优于乙烯利. Treatment of tomato fruits with 1 ppm BR and 1000 ppm ethephon on the plants, both of which increased pre-production, indicated that RR and ethephon had similar ripening effects but had no significant effect on total yield. The quality of the BR-treated fruits was better at Soluble solids, soluble sugars, total sugars, and vitamins were higher than ethephon, with ethephon accelerating the detrimental effects of plant senescence and reducing fruit weight. BR was superior to ethephon in these respects.
