The enzymes of the ACC synthase family are used in producing ethylene. Nucleotide and polypeptide sequences of ACC synthases, namely ACS2, ACS6, and ACS7 from Zea mays, are provided. Knockout plant cells having inhibition in expression and/or activity in an ACC synthase such as ACS2, ACS6, or ACS7 and knockout plants displaying a staygreen phenotype, a male sterility phenotype, or an inhibition in ethylene production are also provided, as are seeds obtained from such plants. Methods for modulating staygreen potential in plants, methods for modulating sterility in plants, and methods for inhibiting ethylene production in plants are also provided.

Provided herein are detergent formulations which can effectively suppress efflorescence in unit dose detergent packs. In accordance with one embodiment, the detergent formulations comprise an alkyl ethoxysulfate component having an alkyl chain length of about 12-18 carbon atoms and about 2-9 moles of ethylene oxide and a cation, an alcohol ethoxylate component having an alkyl chain length of about 12-18 carbon atoms and about 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide, high fructose corn syrup, and a liquid carrier.

Detergent compositions having an improved profile against efflorescence

A substantially non-fat dried whipping composition having improved whipping properties and capable of being reconstituted by whipping with water to a high yield topping, the composition consisting predominantly of at least one maltodextrin and corn syrup solids in combination with relatively smaller amounts of a polyoxyethylene sorbitan stearate containing from 15 to 25 ethylene oxide groups, a small amount of a food stabilizer and the balance being essentially a glyceride ester in which at least 90% of the ester groups present are long chain monester groups.
