1-Methylcyclopropene(CAT: M017567) is a compound with significant applications in the field of agriculture and post-harvest management. It is commonly used as an ethylene antagonist to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. By inhibiting the action of ethylene, a natural plant hormone responsible for ripening and senescence, 1-methylcyclopropene helps prevent premature aging and deterioration of harvested produce.
