In order to understand the physiological significance of the in-vitro lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.12)-mediated ethylene-forming system (J.F. Bousquet and K.V. Thimann 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 1724-1727), its characteristics were compared to those of an in-vivo ethylene-forming system. While

The biosynthetic basis for the high rates of ethylene production by the apical region of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings was investigated. The ethylene precursor l-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) was quantified in extracts of various regions of seedlings by measuring isotopic di
Excised wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves, when subjected to drought stress, increased ethylene production as a result of an increased synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) and an increased activity of the ethyleneforming enzyme (EFE), which catalyzes the conversion of ACC to et
The mechanism of light-inhibited ethylene production in excised rice (Oryza sativa L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves was examined. In segments of rice leaves light substantially inhibited the endogenous ethylene production, but when CO2 was added into the incubation flask, the rate of en
