The plant hormone that hastens the ripening of fruit and helps cause the fall of leaves, flowers, and fruit is ethylene. It is a gaseous hormone that triggers a series of biochemical changes, leading to fruit ripening and senescence.

How does ethylene gas accelerate the ripening of a banana?

Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time. Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.


Why does a paper bag have to contain an apple in order for a banana to ripen well?

Ripening apples produce ethylene (C2H4), a plant growth hormone. The ethylene promotes the growth (ripening) of the banana. The paper bag stops the ethylene from dispersing -- it keeps the ethylene concentration high.
