Summary
Brassinosteroid (BR) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were used in combination with Ca2+ in order to determine if there was a synergistic effect in the stimulation of ethylene production in etiolated mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek cv. Berken) hypocotyl segments. Ca2+ was found to act synergistically with BR, IAA or a combination of the two in promoting a stimulation in ethylene production. EDTA, which chelates Ca2+, greatly reduced the effectiveness of calcium salts in promoting ethylene production in the presene of either BR, IAA or a combination of the two. Neither K+, Mg2+ nor Mn2+ (chloride salts) acted synergistically with BR and IAA. [AS/SS]
