Auxin-induced ethylene formation: its relation to flowering in the pineapple

S P Burg et al. Science. .

Abstract

Within I day after pineapple plants are treated with naphthalene acetic acid they begin producing ethylene. It is suggested that applied auxins mimic the action of ethylene by stimulating ethylene formation, and that ethylene, not auxin, causes pineapples to flower.
