Abstract
They are five types of plant growth regulator: The auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene. In the present paper, I shall briefly review the role of the vacuole in their mode of action, compartmentation and biosynthesis, and then I shall discuss in more detail the evidence that indicates an involvement of the vacuole in ethylene biosynthesis. The terms “hormone” and “growth regulator” will be used interchangeably, in line with current usage (see, for example, Venis, 1985).
