RESUMO
The temperature sensitivity is reported for the latent period preceding ethylene-induced elongation in the adaxial half of the leaf petiole of Helianthus annuus. When intact plants were exposed to 10 μl of ethylene/l of air over the temperature range 18 to 35 C, the minimum latent time was 62 minutes at 28 C and the maximum was 132 minutes at 18 C. The temperature coefficient, Q10, changed from 2.1 below 28 C, to 0.7 above. In 100 μl of ethylene/l of air, the latent time was reduced by 14% at 18 C, but was significantly increased at 28 and 38 C. These results show that the latent period in the elongation response of the petiole to ethylene cannot be reduced below about 60 minutes by raising either the leaf temperature or the atmospheric ethylene concentration.
