INFLUENCE OF ETHYLENE ON GROWTH-SUBSTANCE FORMATION IN AVENA AND VICIA

Abstract

Plants are extraordinarily sensitive to ethylene, the most harmful component of illuminating gas, and the changes brought about by this gas are highly varied. Two of these influences of ethylene were examined in detail: (a) The decrease of the longitudinal growth of sprouts of Avena sativa; and (b) The horizontal growth of the otherwise vertically growing sprouts of Vicia faba.
