The conversion of 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine to ethylene.
It was shown that 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine is a source of ethylene in a chemical model system. Treatment of pea seedlings produces physiological responses similar to that of ethylene. The hypothesis is advanced that 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine effects this response in pea seedlings via the release of ethylene, as was suggested earlier for its effect on abscission and flowering.
