It is shown that auxin enhanced ethylene evolution occurs in a variety of plant material, and that ethylene evolution can be constrolled by endogenous as well as exogenous levels of auxin. The importance of auxin regulated ethylene evolution on a physiological process is demonstrated by investigating the abscission of bean petiole explants.
