A possible endogenous rhythm in internal ethylene levels in the leaves of Lycopersicon esculentum mill

Abstract


Evidence is presented showing that regular variations in internal ethylene levels observed in tomato leaves under long days persist when plants are transferred to conditions of continuous light or dark. The changes in ethylene levels are not correlated with changes in water saturation deficit (WSD) or stomatal aperture and appear to represent a true endogenous rhythm. The results are discussed in relation to the interpretation of physiological data derived from experiments showing changes in levels of endogenous growth regulators in response to changes in environmental factors. © 1976.
