Abstract
An early increase in ethylene production was recorded in melon, tobacco and alfalfa in response to infection by Colletotrichum, Phytophthora and Rhizobium respectively. This effect was mimicked by elicitor treatment of plant tissues and cells. Measurements of ACC synthase and ACC showed that the methionine pathway of ethylene biosynthesis was activated. The effect of exogenous and of endogenous ethylene on defence induction was investigated.
