title: Salicylic acid: A new inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis.
abstract: Salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid at concentrations of 10(-6)M to 10(-4)M effectively inhibit ethylene production by pear cell suspension cultures. Results suggest these acids act by blocking the conversion of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid to ethylene.
