“…Carbon dioxide affects ethylene production in various plant tissues (Potter and Griffiths 1947, Young et al 1962, Imaseky et al 1968) and in the intact plant (Dhawan et al 1981). In leaves, COj stimulates ethylene production (Aharoni et al 1979, Kao and.…”

Light inhibits while carbon dioxide enhances the conversion of 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene in oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Victory) leaf segments. The possibility that the light inhibition is mediated through changes of carbon dioxide has been investigated. The level of CO2 increases or decreases in the sealed incubation vial in darkness or in light, respectively, which can apparently account for the differences in ACC‐dependent ethylene production between the dark and light treatments. However, although the evolution of ethylene from ACC in the dark is reduced upon depletion of CO2, the difference between light and dark is still very noticeable. Moreover, the production of the ethylene in CO2‐free air in the dark was still higher than in the light, where the concentration of CO2 was 0.01%. It is proposed that the light effect on the conversion of ACC to ethylene is composed of two distinguishable components: one CO2‐mediated and the other CO2‐independent.

“…In an earlier report by Imaseki et al (9), it was shown that the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere surrounding sweet potato tuber sections infected by black rot fungus decreased the rate of ethylene production. CO2 has been reported either to inhibit (15,20) or to have no effect (4) on ethylene production in ripening fruit but the results are difficult to interpret because of the possible effects of ethylene on its own production in these tissues (13).In most of the above cases, the experiments were done with excised plant parts sealed in closed systems. Numerous possible sources of error inherent in such techniques have already been pointed out (3,6).…”

High CO2 concentration (0.5%) increased the rate of ethylene production, measured in a continuous flow system, in intact sunflower (Helianthus auwus L.) plants. However, the rate of ethylene production subsided to near control levels after approximately 24 hours. The effect of high CO2 could only be observed in light. Although high CO2 concentration had no effect on the rate of ethylene production in darkness, prolonged exposure (approximately 16 hours) of plants to high CO2 in the dark prevented the increase in ethylene production when the plants were exposed to light and high C02.The interactions between CO2 and ethylene are of interest both for their role in the basic understanding of ethylene action in plants and for their use in preservation of produce, flowers, and fruits, etc. Little work has been done to study the effect of CO2 on the rate of ethylene production in plants. Aharoni and Lieberman (2) have reported recently that CO2 stimulates the ethylene production of tobacco leaf discs senescing in the dark. In an earlier report by Imaseki et al. (9), it was shown that the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere surrounding sweet potato tuber sections infected by black rot fungus decreased the rate of ethylene production. CO2 has been reported either to inhibit (15,20) or to have no effect (4) on ethylene production in ripening fruit but the results are difficult to interpret because of the possible effects of ethylene on its own production in these tissues (13).In most of the above cases, the experiments were done with excised plant parts sealed in closed systems. Numerous possible sources of error inherent in such techniques have already been pointed out (3,6). Further, with such systems it is not feasible to study the exact relationship between CO2 concentration and the rate of ethylene production on a temporal basis since the tissue is sealed for a considerable duration before sufficient amount of ethylene can accumulate to permit accurate analysis.Techniques have been developed in our laboratory that allow measurement of rate of ethylene production by the intact shoots of plants in a continuous flow system (3,6). Using these techniques, we have recently reported that an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere surrounding the sunflower plants increased the rate of ethylene production (5). The change in rate of ethylene production was evident within the first few minutes of the carbon dioxide treatment. All the experiments reported in that paper were done in continuous light.The present study was undertaken to further explore the rela-'Financial assistance from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Re- MATERIALS AND METHODS The seedlings of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) were started in trays containing vermiculite, in a constantly lit controlled environment growth chamber. The temperature in the growth chamber was maintained at 27 ± 1°C and the RH at 75%. After 7 d, the seedlings were transplanted to individual pots containing sand:vermiculite:peat moss (1:1:1).A 2-week-old plant ...

“…Similarly, when CO2 was removed from the atmosphere with KOH, ethylene production by infected sweet potato roots decreased (1 1). CO2 has been shown to inhibit ethylene production by ripening fruit (15,18). It is not clear whether this reflects an effect of CO2 solely on ethylene production.…”
