The activity of the ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE) in suspension-cultured tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cells was almost completely abolished within 10 min by 0.4 mM of the metal-chelating agent 1,10-phenanthroline. Subsequent addition of 0.4mM FeSO4 immediately reversed this inhibition. A p

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
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
The conversion of 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene by hypocotyl segments of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L .) seedlings was inhibited by abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (Me-Ja), and this inhibitory effect increased with increasing concentration of both growth regulato
