CO2 vs Ethylene

Does anyone know anything or have any data on the interaction between CO2 and ethylene? From what I've read CO2 is supposed to inhibit the effectiveness of ethylene. For people that don't know, raised CO2 levels promote photosynthetic reactions while ethylene quickens ripening and maturation. The reason I ask is because many people use CO2 throughout their grow/bloom cycle. This seems problematic at least during the bloom cycle if CO2 inhibits ethylene.

Old thread, I know...but I was also researching this info and found this high times article which does go into it briefly. I will still be doing more research as this could be a major issue with someone who likes to do perpetual harvest. It would be impossible to ever achieve the results you desire.
