Abstract: | Gas chromatography was used to measure ethylene (ethene) andethane production by tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsinno. 38) callus tissues grown on media containing inorganic saltsaccording to Murashige and Skoog (1962), sucrose, myo-inositol,thiamine-HCl kinetic according to Linsmaier and Skoog (1965),and either 2,4-dichiorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in the range0100 mgl1 or 2 mgl1 indoi-3-ylacetic acidplus NaCl in the range 0200 Meq l1. Ethylene productionrates were high (> 500 nl h1 g1 fresh weight)initially in all treatments. Subsequently, ethylene productiondeclined in rapidly growing cultures but remained high in moderatelyand severely 2,4-D (> 0·5 mgl1) stressed andin severely NaCl ( 150 Meql1) stressed cultures. Highinitial rates of ethane production (> 200 nl h1 g1fresh weight) were obtained under conditions of severe stresscaused by 2,4-D or NaCl but not in control or moderately inhibitedcultures. With further incubation ethane production declinedin the severely stressed cultures. It is concluded that ethyleneproduction can be used as an index of moderate 2,4-D stressand severe NaCl stress by virtue of the high persisting ratesof ethylene production in stressed cultures. Ethane productioncan be used as an early index of severe stress caused by either2,4-D or NaCl in vitro.
