Abstract

At a concentration of 3%, carbon dioxide completely inhibits nodulation. Ethylene at concentrations of 0.4 ppm and above is extremely inhibitory towards nodulation. The gaseous emanations from isolated root cultures, when permitted to accumulate, completely prevent nodulation and also inhibit the nitrogen fixation of existing nodules. Evidence is presented which suggests that ethylene is the active principle of the gaseous emanations.
