| Abstract: | Growth promotion of pistils in carnation buds ( Dianthus caryophyllus L., cv. White Sim) by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) can be reversed by administering silver thiosulphate via the stem or 2,5-norbornadiene in the ambient atmosphere. Double reciprocal plots of relative style growth versus ACC concentration at different inhibitor concentrations suggest the inhibition to be competitive in both cases. |
