| Abstract: | Acetylcholine chloride inhibited ethylene production in etiolated bean tissues and prevented to some extent the IAA-promoted opening of the bean hypocotyl hooks. The results were interpreted on the basis of acetylcholine mimicking the effects of red light on auxin content and ethylene production. |
