Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Ethylene production was highest at root tips and lower in middle and basal roots.
- Association ACC levels mirrored ethylene production across root portions.
- Observation N-malonyl-ACC was lowest at root tips.
- Intervention effect Transfer transiently increased ACC content, most at root tips.
- Association The transient ACC rise was not correlated with ethylene production increase.
- Observation ACC oxidase activity was lowest at the tip and higher in middle and basal roots.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment rapidly raised root ACC content.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment rapidly raised ethylene production.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment inhibited root elongation.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment did not induce ACC oxidase activity.
