Abstract:The apical 1-cm hypocotyl of dark-grown `Clark' soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seedlings produced ethylene at rates of 7 to 11 nanoliters per hour per gram when attached to the cotyledons. Such physiologically active rates occurred prior to the deceleration of hypocotyl elongation caused by the temperature of 25 C.

Daily exposure of the etiolated seedlings to red light promoted hypocotyl elongation and prevented its lateral swelling. Red light treatment also caused a 45% decrease in ethylene production. Far red irradiation following the red treatment reversed the red effects, suggesting that the ethylene intervenes as a regulator in the phytochrome control of `Clark' soybean hypocotyl growth at 25 C.
