Abstract
Malformin and ethylene stimulate abscission of the primary leaves of Phaseolus aureus Roxb. in the dark, and abscission stimulation by both compounds is inhibited by indeleacetic acid and CO2. Ethylene production by malformin-treated buds is stimulated within 4 hours. and up to 8 days, after treatment. Malformin-induced growth disturbances in P. vulgaris L. and abscission in P. aureus are considered mediated by ethylene. Although root curvatures of Zea mays L. are induced by both malformin and ethylene, and malformin is inhibited by CO2, ethylene production is not stimulated by malformin. A role of ethylene in root curvatures induced by malformin is neither proposed nor disproved.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
