Ethylene production by young shoots
| Strains | Ethylene Production |
|---|---|
| mg kg−1 h−1 fresh wt | |
| Wild type | 0.11 ± 0.04 |
| Transgenic plants expressing full-length CGS | 0.15 ± 0.08 |
| Transgenic plants expressing truncated CGS | 4.35 ± 0.46 |
Ethylene production by shoots (about 10 cm high) regenerated from transgenic and wild-type plants after 3 weeks of growth in soil. The average ± SE of five different shoots is shown.
