Abstract:

The ethylene-releasing compound chloroethane-phosphonic acid (CEPA) promotes the germination of dormant gladiolous cormels and inhibits the germination of non-dormant ones. Cormel germination is reduced in a CO2- enriched atmosphere and under reduced pressure. Ethylene production by the cormels is not affected by dormancy-breaking cold storage, but increases with time after imbibition. Benzyl-adenine (BA) induces ethylene production by the cormels. It is suggested that ethylene has no effect on the dormancy-breaking step, but influences bud elongation. © 1974.
