Abstract: | The effects of salicylic acid (SA) on ethylene biosynthesis in detached rice leaves were investigated. SA at pH 3.5 effectively inhibited ethylene production within 2 h of its application. It inhibited the conversion of ACC to ethylene, but did not affect the levels of ACC and conjugated ACC. Thus, the inhibitory effect of SA resulted from the inhibition of both synthesis of ACC and the conversion of ACC to ethylene.Abbreviations ACC
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
- EFE
ethylene-forming enzyme
- SA
salicylic acid |

Keywords: | ethylene biosynthesis salicylic acid Oryza sativa |
