Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Ethylene production rose rapidly and peaked after ten days in both genotypes.
- Observation Ethylene production subsequently declined rapidly in both genotypes.
- Intervention effect The fall in ethylene production was more pronounced after transfer to growth regulator free medium.
- Observation Ethylene production rates differed only slightly between the two genotypes.
- Intervention effect Cobalt ions strongly inhibited ethylene biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Nickel ions strongly inhibited ethylene biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Cobalt and nickel ions did not affect embryo induction.
- Intervention effect Amino oxyacetic acid had no effect on ethylene production during induction.
- Intervention effect Aminoethoxyvinylglycine had no effect on ethylene production during induction.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that high ethylene production during induction is not essential for later embryo differentiation.
