Ethylene and Seeds

  • Conference paper
Plant Growth Substances 1979

Abstract

Some of the earliest reports on effects of ethylene on plant growth and development relate to studies on the breaking of seed dormancy [e.g., (1)]. In more recent times a number of workers have returned to this subject, and it appears that ethylene may break dormancy in seeds of a large number of species (2–4). Such effects have been taken to mean that ethylene is involved in the natural control of seed dormancy. Further interest in this possibility has been engendered by the discovery that ethylene is a natural component of the soil atmosphere (5).
