Method for overcoming the antiethylene effects of ag.
A technique is described for eliminating the antiethylene effects of the Ag(+) ion in the intact pea plant (Pisum sativum). The technique is based on the ability of the ethylene mimic, acetylene, to negate the antiethylene effect of Ag(+), presumably through salt formation, and subsequently to induce the ethylene response.
