RESUMO
A 60-fold increase in ethylene content was observed in stem cuttings of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum × morifolium Ramat.) held in aero-hydroponics under anoxic conditions during the 8 to 12 days necessary for adventitious root formation. Ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, and 10-(malonylamino) cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid contents were highest in the immersed portion of the cuttings, but there was substantial ethylene produced by the anoxic, misted portions of the cutting above the liquid. Application of ethylene (10 microliters per liter) to chrysanthemum cuttings stimulated root development in cuttings held in high dissolved oxygen concentrations (8.0 milligrams per liter). Since the application of ethylene did not inhibit rooting in cuttings held at low dissolved oxygen concentrations (2.0 milligrams per liter), the inhibition of rooting under low oxygen concentrations is not mediated by the observed increase in endogenous ethylene content.
