We have previously shown that both endogenous auxin and ethylenepromote adventitious root formation in the hypocotyls of derootedsunflower (Helianthus annuus) seedlings. Experiments here showedthat promotive effects on rooting of the ethylene precursor,1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) and the ethylene-releasingcompound, ethephon (2-chloro-ethylphosphonic acid), dependedon the existence of cotyledons and apical bud (major sourcesof auxin) or the presence of exogenously applied indole-3-aceticacid (IAA). Ethephon, ACC, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (an inhibitorof ethylene biosynthesis), and silver thiosulphate (STS, aninhibitor of ethylene action), applied for a length of timethat significantly influenced adventitious rooting, showed noinhibitory effect on the basipetal transport of [3H]IAA. Theseregulators also had no effect on the metabolism of [3H]IAA andendogenous IAA levels measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.ACC enhanced the rooting response of hypocotyls to exogenousIAA and decreased the inhibition of rooting by IAA transportinhibitor, N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA). STS reduced therooting response of hypocotyls to exogenous IAA and increasedthe inhibition of rooting by NPA. Exogenous auxins promotedethylene production in the rooting zone of the hypocotyls. Decapitationof the cuttings or application of NPA to the hypocotyl belowthe cotyledons did not alter ethylene production in the rootingzone, but greatly reduced the number of root primordia. We concludethat auxin is a primary controller of adventitious root formationin sunflower hypocotyls, while the effect of ethylene is mediatedby auxin.

The possibility was investigated that the inhibition of rooting in pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Weibull's Marma) cuttings caused by low indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations is due to ethylene produced as a result of IAA treatment. Treatment with 10 uμ IAA reduced the number of roots to about 50% of the control and increased ethylene production in the stem bases by about 20 times the control value during the two first days of treatment. Ethylene-releasing compounds (ethephon and 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, ACC), in concentrations giving a similar ethylene release, inhibited rooting to the same extent or more strongly than IAA. These results indicate that IAA-induced ethylene is at least responsible for the negative component in IAA action on root formation in pea cuttings. A higher IAA concentration (100 μ) and indol-3yl-butyric acid efficiently counteracted the negative effect of ethylene on root formation.  相似文献

The role of ethylene in adventitious root formation and its involvement in auxin-induced rooting were investigated in cuttings ofVigna radiata (L.). Treatment with 30 M indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) for 24 h slightly inhibited rooting, whereas the same concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) significantly stimulated it. Ethylene derived from 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) increased the number of adventitious roots but inhibited their emergence and elongation. Endogenous levels of ethylene, ACC, and malonyl-ACC (MACC) were initially higher in cuttings treated with IAA. This trend was quickly reversed, and cuttings, particularly hypocotyls, treated with IBA produced higher levels of ethylene and had more ACC and MACC during most of the rooting process. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine significantly inhibited rooting, but its inhibitory effect could not be reversed by ACC. The data suggest that the stimulating effect of IBA on rooting is closely associated with its induction of ACC and ethylene biosynthesis.  相似文献

Ethylene and in vitro rooting of hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cotyledons   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Ethylene may be one of the many factors that play a role in rooting. However, in some studies ethylene promoted rooting, while in others it was inhibitory or had no effect. Using cotyledons of hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L. cv. Casina) observations were made of the effect of ethylene precursors on adventitious root formation. l-methionine (Met) or 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) added to a standard indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)-kinetin-containing medium did not enhance rooting, while 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA) did. The ethylene inhibitor, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), inhibited root formation, but its effect was reversed by ACC when cotyledonary segments were transferred to rhizogenic medium plus ACC at day 10. Ethylene production by cotyledons cultured on rhizogenic medium or rhizogenic medium plus CEPA was high at the beginning of rooting. Thus, the wound-induced ethylene is a key stimulatory factor in the formation of root primordia. The data support the hypothesis that ethylene plays a positive role in root formation.  相似文献

Light inhibits root elongation, increases ethylene production and enhances the inhibitory action of auxins on root elongation of pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Weibulls Marma) seedlings. To investigate the role of ethylene in the interaction between light and auxin, the level of ethylene production in darkness was increased to the level produced in light by supplying 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) or benzylaminopurine (BAP). Ethylene production was measured in excised root tips after treatment of intact seedlings for 24 h, while root growth was measured after 48 h. Auxin, at a concentration causing a partial inhibition of root elongation, did not increase ethylene production significantly. A 4-fold increase in ethylene production, caused either by light, 0.1 μ M ACC or 0.1 μ M BAP, inhibited root elongation by 40–50%. The auxins 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and indolebutyric acid applied at 0.1 μ M inhibited root elongation by 15–25% in darkness but by 50–60% in light. Supply of ACC or BAP in darkness enhanced the inhibitory effects of auxins to about the same extent as in light. The inhibition caused by the auxins as well as by the BAP was associated with swelling of the root tips. ACC and BAP treatment synergistically increased the swelling caused by auxins. We conclude that auxin and ethylene, when applied or produced in partially inhibitory concentrations, act synergistically to inhibit root elongation and increase root diameter. The effect of light on the response of the roots to auxins is mediated by a light-induced increase in ethylene production.  相似文献

In this study we investigated the role of ethylene in the formation of lateral and adventitious roots in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) using mutants isolated for altered ethylene signaling and fruit ripening. Mutations that block ethylene responses and delay ripening – Nr ( Never ripe ), gr ( green ripe ), nor ( non ripening ), and rin ( ripening inhibitor ) – have enhanced lateral root formation. In contrast, the epi ( epinastic ) mutant, which has elevated ethylene and constitutive ethylene signaling in some tissues, or treatment with the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC), reduces lateral root formation. Treatment with ACC inhibits the initiation and elongation of lateral roots, except in the Nr genotype. Root basipetal and acropetal indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) transport increase with ACC treatments or in the epi mutant, while in the Nr mutant there is less auxin transport than in the wild type and transport is insensitive to ACC. In contrast, the process of adventitious root formation shows the opposite response to ethylene, with ACC treatment and the epi mutation increasing adventitious root formation and the Nr mutation reducing the number of adventitious roots. In hypocotyls, ACC treatment negatively regulated IAA transport while the Nr mutant showed increased IAA transport in hypocotyls. Ethylene significantly reduces free IAA content in roots, but only subtly changes free IAA content in tomato hypocotyls. These results indicate a negative role for ethylene in lateral root formation and a positive role in adventitious root formation with modulation of auxin transport as a central point of ethylene–auxin crosstalk.  相似文献

Ethylene and in vitro rooting of rose shoots   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Effects of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor, (CoCl2), and inhibitor of ethylene binding to receptors, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), on ethylene production and rooting in shoot culture of Rosa hybrida L. cv. Alba meidiland were studied. Additionally, effect of ethylene removal by KMnO4 and HgClO4 on rooting was tested. ACC increased ethylene production and delayed root formation, decreased the number of roots per shoot and inhibited root growth. In contrast, inhibition of ethylene production by CoCl2 accelerated root emergence, and increased the number of roots per shoot. Likewise, removing ethylene from the ambient atmosphere improved root emergence and, increased root number of per shoot and markedly inhibited root growth. Blocking the ethylene receptors by 1-MCP increased ethylene level in the ambient atmosphere and increased both emergence and root formation. Both ethylene biosynthesis and action are involved in the control of rooting. Ethylene concentration in glass jars was too high for root emergence and formation, but was appropriate for root growth. CoCl2 or 1-MPC can be recommended for regulation of rooting in rose shoot culture, since both emergence and number of roots were improved but root growth was not inhibited.  相似文献

Endogenous levels of ethylene appeared to he suhoptimal for somatic embryogenesis in a suspension culture of carrot. Low concentrations of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) and elhylene stimulated embryogenesis whereas higher concentrations were inhibitory. The stimulation by ACC was through its conversion to ethylene. whereas the inhibition by ACC was not. Low concentrations of AgNO3. an inhibitor of ethylene action, inhibited embryo-genesis but stimulated ethylene production. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and aminooxyacetic acid (AOA). commonly used inhibitors of ACC synthase. inhibited both embryogenesis and ethylene production. However, the inhibition of embryogenesis was not related to the inhibition ote ethylene production. Very low concentrations of AVG stimulated embryo production in a way unrelated to its effect on ethylene production. Salicylic acid and CoCl2. inhibitors of ACC oxidase in other systems, inhibited embryogenesis but. again, in way(s) unrelated to their inhibition of ethylene production. In fact, low concentrations of salicylic acid stimulated rather than inhibited ethylene production. The results show that in suspension-cultured cells, caution is warranted in the interpretation of results obtained with agents presumed to inhibit ethylene biosynthesis. The stimulation of somatic embryogenesis by ethylene unequivocally shows that the inhibition of embryo development by 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.4-D) and other auxins cannot be through their stimulatory effect on ethylene production.  相似文献

The possible involvement of ethylene in in vitrorooting of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) shootsregenerated on medium containing thidiazuron wasinvestigated. The effects of the ethylene precursor1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and threeethylene inhibitors, silver nitrate (AgNO3),acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) and cobalt chloride(CoCl2) on root formation were tested in vitrousing TDZ-induced shoots of faba bean accession 760.ACC inhibited root formation. In contrast, ethyleneinhibitors promoted root formation, AgNO3 at theappropriate concentrations enhanced root emergence andincreased root number per shoot, root growth rate, androot length. Both CoCl2 and ASA at theappropriate concentrations increased rootingefficiency. These promotive effects may result from areduction in ethylene concentration or inhibition ofethylene action. The results offer a new approach toimprove the rooting efficiency of TDZ-induced shootsof faba bean and possibly of other plant species.  相似文献

Effects of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and three ethylene inhibitors, AgNO3, aminoethoxyvinyglycine (AVG) and CoCl2, on root formation were tested in vitro using shoot cultures of the apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) cultivar Royal Gala. ACC inhibited root formation by delaying root emergence and increasing callus formation at the bases of shoots. In contrast, ethylene inhibitors promoted root formation. Both AgNO3 and AVG at the appropriate concentrations increased the percentage of shoots producing roots and reduced callus formation at the base of these shoots. AgNO3 stimulated root emergence and enhanced root growth, while AVG increased the number of roots per shoot. CoCl2 slightly increased root number and rooting efficiency. These promotive effects may result from a reduction in ethylene concentration or inhibition of ethylene action. The results found in this study may be used to improve the rooting efficiency of other apple cultivars and rootstocks, and possibly of other plant species.

Abstract. Phosphate inhibited endogenous as well as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-stimulated ethylene synthesis in slices of tomato fruit, segments of carrot root and pea hypocotyls. ACC concentrations of up to 10 mol m?3 did not overcome this inhibition. Phosphate inhibited the conversion of 14C ACC to ethylene in tomato fruit and vegetative tissue. Enzymatic conversion of ACC to ethylene by pea seedling homogenate was also inhibited by phosphate with a linear concentration dependency. The formation of ACC from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) by extracts of pink tomatd fruit was slightly, but not significantly, affected by phosphate. However, the SAM to ACC conversion was greater when extracts from tomato fruit were made in phosphate rather than in HEPES-KOH buffer. Non-enzymatic ethylene synthesis from ACC in a model system was stimulated by phosphate. We suggest that phosphate is an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis in higher plants and that one site of its control is the conversion of ACC to ethylene.  相似文献

Paclobutrazol (PB), a triazole growth retardant and an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, reduced at 17 μM concentration the adventitious root formation of bean primary leaf cuttings. Treatments with 5 μM ABA or 4 μM Ethrel, an ethylenereleasing compound, restored the rooting of PB-treated cuttings. Ethylene production and the content of the precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) were enhanced in root-forming tissues of PB-treated petioles 48 h after ABA application. The effect of ABA could be abolished by 10 μM CoCl2, an inhibitor of ACC oxidase. Thus, ABA might stimulate rooting through its effect on ethylene release. 2 mM silver thiosulphate, an inhibitor of ethylene action, decreased the rooting of PB-treated cuttings similarly to Co2+, but failed to negate the ABA effect. These data indicate that the effect of PB on rhizogenesis is not associated directly with the inhibition of the biosynthesis of gibberellins Acknowledgements: We are grateful to Gabriella Biró.

Using cotyledonary segments of cocklebur ( Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr. ) seeds, the inhibitory effect of α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) on ethylene production was compared with that of propyl gallate and CoCl2. Of these inhibitors only AIB was effective in causing the accumulation of endogenous free 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) in the tissue. The degree of inhibition of ethylene production by AIB decreased markedly with increasing concentrations of pre-loaded ACC, while the inhibition by propyl gallate and CoCl2 changed little. Kinetic analysis showed that AIB competitively inhibited the conversion of pre-loaded ACC to ethylene, but propyl gallate and CoCl2 did not. Short-chain organic acids and analogues of AIB, such as acetic, propionic, butyric and cyclopropanecarboxylic acids, did not inhibit ethylene production by the segments. Thus, additional support for the competitive mode of inhibitory action of AIB on the conversion of free ACC to ethylene was provided.
A conjugated hydrolysable ACC was found to be present in abundance in cotyledons of this seed. However, its content in the tissue was hardly affected by treatment with the three inhibitors and by administration of exogenous ACC, suggesting that the conjugated ACC was not directly involved in ethylene production.  相似文献

Hypocotyl explants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum regenerated roots when cultured vertically with either the apical end (AE) or basal end (BE) in media containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). IAA alone induced roots regularly from the basal end of the explants, either from the cut surface immersed in the medium or from the opposite side. The inhibitors of auxin efflux carriers, α-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) and 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), inhibited rhizogenesis only from AE-cultured explants, indicating the role of polar auxin transport in root regeneration in this system. Cytokinin (zeatin, kinetin, BAP) added to auxin-containing medium reduced rhizogenesis from the explants maintained with BE and AE and additionally changed the IAA-induced pattern of rooting in AE-cultured explants by favoring rooting from the apical end and middle part of the hypocotyl with its concomitant reduction from the basal end. The addition of kinetin did not influence the content of IAA in the explants maintained with AE, suggesting that the cytokinin effect on root patterning was not dependent on auxin biosynthesis. Kinetin, however, strongly enhanced ethylene production. The importance of ethylene in regulating PAT-dependent rhizogenesis was tested by using an ethylene antagonist AgNO3, an inhibitor of ethylene synthesis aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), and a precursor of ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). AgNO3 applied together with IAA or with IAA and kinetin strongly reduced the production of ethylene, inhibited rhizogenesis, and induced nonregenerative callus from BE, suggesting the need for ethylene signaling to elicit the rhizogenic action of auxin. A reduction of rhizogenesis and decrease of ethylene biosynthesis was also caused by AVG. In addition, AVG at 10 μM reversed the effect of cytokinin on root patterning, resulting in roots emerging only from BE on the medium with IAA and kinetin. Conversely, ACC at 200 μM markedly enhanced the production of ethylene and partly mimicked the effect of cytokinin when applied with IAA alone, thus confirming that in cultured hypocotyls of ice plant, cytokinin affects IAA-induced rhizogenesis through an ethylene-dependent pathway.  相似文献

We have studied the role of endogenous auxin on adventitious rooting in hypocotyls of derooted sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var. Dahlgren 131) seedlings. Endogenous free and conjugated indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were measured in three segments of hypocotyls of equal length (apical, middle, basal) by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with [13C6]-IAA as an internal standard. At the time original roots were excised (0 h), the free IAA level in the hypocotyls showed an acropetally decreasing gradient, but conjugated IAA level increased acropetally; i.e. free to total IAA ratio was highest in the basal portion of hypocotyls. The basal portion is the region where most of root primordia were found. Some primordia were seen in this region within 24 h after the roots were excised. The quantity of free IAA in the middle portion of the hypocotyl increased up to 15 h after excision and then decreased. In this middle region there were fewer root primordia, and they could not be seen until 72 h. In the apical portion the amount of free IAA steadily increased and no root primordia were seen by 72 h. Surgical removal of various parts of the hypocotyl tissues caused adventitious root formation in the hypocotyl regions where basipetally transported IAA could accumulate. Reduction in the basipetal flow of auxin by N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid and 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid resulted in fewer adventitious roots. The fewest root primordia were seen if the major sources of endogenous auxin were removed by decapitation of the cotyledons and apical bud. Exogenous auxins promoted rooting and were able to completely overcome the inhibitory effect of 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid. Exogenous auxins were only partially able to overcome the inhibitory effect of decapitation. We conclude that in sunflower hypocotyls endogenously produced auxin is necessary for adventitious root formation. The higher concentrations of auxin in the basal portion may be partially responsible for that portion of the hypocotyl producing the greatest number of primordia. In addition to auxins, other factors such as wound ethylene and lowered cytokinin levels caused by excision of the original root system cuttings must also be important.  相似文献

Ethylene as a possible mediator of light-induced inhibition of root growth   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Eliasson, L. and Bollmark, M. 1988. Ethylene as a possible mediator of light-induced inhibition of root growth. - Physiol. Plant. 72: 605–609.
Pea seedlings ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Weibull's Marma) were used to investigate the possible role of ethylene in light-induced inhibition of root elongation. Illumination of the roots with white light inhibited root elongation by 40–50% and increased ethylene production by the roots about 4-fold. Our main approach was to use exogenous 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), supplied in the growth solution, to monitor ethylene production of the roots independent of light treatment. Ethylene production of excised root tips increased with increasing ACC concentrations. The rate of ethylene production in dark-grown roots treated with 0.1 μ M ACC was similar to that caused by illumination. Low ACC concentrations (0.01–0.1 μ M ) decreased the rate of root elongation, especially in seedlings grown in the dark, and 0.1 μ M ACC inhibited elongation to about the same extent as light. In light the roots curved and grew partly plagiogravitropically. This effect was also simulated by the 0.1 μ M ACC treatment. At 1 μ M and higher concentrations, ACC inhibited root growth almost completely and caused conspicuous curvatures of the root tips both in light and darkness. Inhibitors of ethylene synthesis and action partially counteracted the inhibition of root elongation caused by light. These observations suggest that the increase in ethylene production caused by light is at least partly responsible for the decreased growth of light-exposed roots.  相似文献

Cuttings of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Marma) were treated with 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC). This treatment caused increased ethylene production and reduction of root formation. The effect of 0.1 mM ACC on the level of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the rooting zone and in the shoot apex was analyzed by gas chromatography-single ion monitoring mass spectrometry or by high pressure liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection (HPLC). Concentrations of indole-3-acetylaspartic acid (IAAsp) in the stem bases were also determined using HPLC. The ACC treatment had little effect on the IAA level in the base measured after 24 h, but caused a considerable decrease during the 3 following days. IAAsp increased in the base on days 1, 2 and 3 and then declined. The build up of IAAsp in the base was not affected by ACC during the first two days of the treatment, but later this conjugate decreased more rapidly than in controls. No effect of the ACC treatment was found on the level of IAA in the apex. IAA (1 µM) applied to the cuttings during 24 h reduced the number of roots formed. The possibility that IAA-induced ethylene is involved in this response was investigated.Our results support earlier evidence that the inhibitory effect of ethylene on rooting in pea cuttings is due to decreased IAA levels in the rooting zone. The inhibitory effect of applied IAA is obtained if the internal IAA level is maintained high during the first 24 h, whereas stimulation of rooting occurs if the internal IAA level remains high during an extended period of time. Our results do not support the suggestion that ethylene mediates the inhibitory effect of applied IAA.  相似文献

Increased levels of ethylene in plants are responsible for many deleterious effects such as early senescence, fruit deterioration and inhibition of root elongation. Several cyclopropene derivatives have previously been studied as inhibitors of ethylene action in plants. This study focuses on one such compound, 1-cyclopropenylmethyl butyl ether and its effect on the growth of roots and shoots of canola plants as well as rooting of mung bean seedlings 1-cyclopropenylmethyl butyl ether increased root length in canola plants, but had no significant effect on shoot length. In rooting studies, mung bean seedlings treated with 1-cyclopropenylmethyl butyl ether prior to root excision had fewer numbers of roots than control plants that were not treated with the ethylene action inhibitor. The same rooting study, when repeated in the presence of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), demonstrated an overall increase in the number of roots of inibitor-treated and non-treated plants, however, the inhibitor was still effective in decreasing the number of roots, compared to its non-treated conterpart.

The role of ethylene in the formation of lysigenous cortical cavities (aerenchyma) in seedling roots of Zea mays L. cv. Capella, has been studied under aerated and non-aerated conditions. Passing roots from air to aerated water or from an aerated nutrient solution to a non-aerated solution, promoted cavity formation and was accompanied by an increase of the endogenous ethylene concentration. When the endogenous ethylene concentration of roots in aerated nutrient solutions, which otherwise would not produce much cavities, was enhanced by applying ethylene gas (0.1 and 1.0 μl 1-1 in air) or the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-car-boxylic acid, cavity formation was promoted. When, on the contrary, the endogenous ethylene concentration of the roots was reduced by adding the inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis, cobalt ions and aminooxyacetic acid, or when the ethylene action was prevented by silver ions, cavity formation was prevented. It is concluded that endogenous ethylene controls the induction of cavity formation in the roots.  相似文献

Using seedlings derived from the shoot apex of annatto (Bixa orellana L. cv. Bico-de-Pato) we observed the rooting frequency of B. orellana, the number and length of roots and the rate of ethylene production during 30 d in culture. The rhizogenesis response was affected by auxins (NAA or IBA) and by both the ethylene biosynthesis precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and the inhibitor 2-aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). Auxin supplementation to the medium resulted in root induction, ethylene production, and an undesirable callusing in the epidermal and cortical tissues. Irrespective of the presence of auxins, supplementing the medium with ACC promoted ethylene biosynthesis and callusing, which resulted in increased cell proliferation mainly in the cortical and vascular tissues, while the epidermis was mostly unaltered. In both ACC and auxin-supplemented medium, increased ethylene production and callusing occurred, suggesting a synergistic effect between these two responses. ACC was capable of inducing adventitious root formation, but the roots produced had a wrinkled appearance when compared to normal roots. Conversely, AVG reduced ethylene production and callusing, while the epidermis, cortex, and inner tissues remained unaltered, regardless of the presence of auxins. AVG was beneficial in these aspects, although its application led to a reduction in the number of roots and in the average root length. In conclusion, it was not possible to establish a direct relation between ethylene and rooting, but we hypothesize that, under the experimental conditions described, ethylene may enhance tissue sensitivity to auxin. However, ethylene did not seem essential to the rhizogenesis process in annatto.  相似文献
