Abstract
The hypothesis that ethylene (C2H4) action in the senescence of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv.
White Sim) flowers is mediated by a specific C2H4 binding site in the tissues was investigated using 14C-C2H4. A substantial proportion of the bound radioactive C2H4 could be displaced by the addition of unlabelled C2H4, indicating a specific binding site.
Low concentrations of 2,5-norbornadiene delayed the senescence of carnation flowers.
The contribution of these data to our understanding of the action of C2H4 in cut flower senescence is discussed.
