Hormonal Regulation of Development III

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 11))

Abstract

The olefinic gas ethylene (ethene) is the most unusual and perhaps powerful of the growth-regulating chemicals produced by microorganisms and by healthy and diseased plants. The earliest observations of the physiological effects of the gas by Fahnstock (1858) and Girardin (1864, Abeles 1973) were in relation to damage to coleus plants and lime (Tilia vulgaris) trees by fuel (coal) gas contaminated by ethylene. The effects of ethylene on lime trees closely simulated the disease syndrome associated with vascular wilt pathogens such as the Dutch elm disease fungus (Ceratocystis ulmi) on elm, but it was many years later that its biosynthesis by microorganisms (including fungal and bacterial vascular pathogens) was established (Pegg 1976b).
