title: Production of ethylene by excised segments of plant tissue prior to the effect of wounding.
abstract: A delay of 20 to 30 min precedes a rapid increase in the production of ethylene when segments are excised from the petioles of tomato plants. Measurements made during this early phase may be better estimates of production by petioles on the intact plant than those made at later times.
