1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an antagonist of ethylene for receptor binding sites. Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.Amelia and Natila) plants were incubated with 1-MCP (500 nl L-1 and 1000 nl L-l) for 24h at 20°C and respiration rate, fresh weight, petal leaf's diameter and colour together with ETR1 and CTR1 gene expression patterns were assessed throughout the post-treatment phase. CTR1 and ETR1 gene activities which are responsible from ethylene biosynthesis determined by using Real Time PCR.
