Abstract
Light-induced anthocyanin synthesis in Sorghum vulgare L. seedlings was both promoted and inhibited by ethylene treatment. The rate of anthocyanin formation in sorghum tissue was dependent upon the time of ethylene treatment in relation to light exposure and the stage of the anthocyanin synthesis process. Those plants receiving ethylene treatment during the early lag phase of anthocyanin synthesis had higher anthocyanin content at 24 hours than control plants receiving no ethylene treatment. Plants receiving ethylene treatment after the lag phase had lower anthocyanin content at 24 hours than control plants receiving no ethylene treatment.
