Abstract
ETHYLENE is known to be effective in inducing flowering in pineapple1. Compounds with similar activity include β-hydroxyethylhydrazine (BOH)2, which has been suggested to induce flowering by reducing the auxin concentration in the plant3, and which has been observed to inhibit the oxidation of tryptamine to indoleacetaldehyde by extracts of pea seedling4. But this theory was disputed, and it was suggested that BOH produces ethylene spontaneously, which then causes flowering and fruit abscission5.
