Ethylene

This is an apple. An apple is an example of a fruit that gives off ethylene. Ethylene is a plant growing or ripening substance. Ethylene is a hydrocarbon that acts as a hormone that promotes ripening. It is commonly organically found on ripe bananas and can sometimes produce a smell that lets you know that the fruit is ready to eat. Ethylene works against auxin which promotes root growth because it promotes plant aging.
