Why are carnations sensitive to ethylene gas?

Every plant is sensitive to ethylene gas. Ethylene is emitted when damage is done to a plant. It stimulates repair or ripening so that reproduction can take place before it's too late. Bananas are an example of this ripening effect. Put green bananas beside ripe ones and the ethylene ripens the green bananas faster than they would have ripened on the other side of the room. Ethylene ripens all fruit, tomatoes, pears etc. The same is true of flowers.
