Hey,
-Ethylene is a simple gaseous PGR.
-It is synthesised in large amounts by tissues undergoing senescence and ripening fruits.
-It induces triple response in Dicots.(horizontal growth of seedlings,swelling of axis,apical hook formation.)
-promotes senescence and abscission of plant organs.
-effective PGR in in ripening fruits.
-breaks dormancy& induces germination.
-promotes rapid internode/petiole elongation in deep water rice plants.
-promotes root growth and root hair formation.
-initiate flowering in mango and pineapple.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

Explanation:
Applications (Physiological effects) of Ethylene:
- Ethylene plays an important role in breaking the dormancy of seeds and buds. It also overcomes dormancy of potato tubers.
- Ethylene inhibits the elongation of stem and roots in dicots.
- Ethylene plays an important role in commercial ripening of fruits. Thus plays a significant role in post - harvest technology.
- Ethylene promotes senescence besides abscission of organs like leaves and flowers.
