Abstract: As the most important hormones in the growth, development and senescence of plants, ethylene plays the key role in the regulation on the senescence and abscission process of the cut flowers and ornamental plants. To improve the vase life and quality of the ornamental plants, the ethylene inhibitors are the most effective and economical method, and the study on the ethylene inhibitor becomes a main field of postharvest researches. The advanced studies on the ethylene inhibitor are reviewed in this paper, and several important ethylene inhibitors are introduced in it as well.
