Heynh. seedlings, were studied kinetically in an open flow system. Major differences in the metal stimulated increases in ethylene production were found. Using reaction rate experiments, this stimulation was shown to be entirely enzymatic in case of zinc treatment and partly enzymatic, partly non-enzymatic in case of copper addition. The existence of non-enzymatic copper stimulated ethylene production was confirmed using an oxygen-free atmosphere. By inhibiting ACC synthase activity, ACC could be indicated as the major precursor of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic copper stimulated ethylene production. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/4239 | ISBN: | 9780792359418 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-94-011-4453-7_60 | Rights: | © Kluwer Academic Publishers 1999 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
