A temporary ethylene treatment, sufficient to stimulate ripening in banana fruit tissue, partly suppresses endogenous ethylene production and the evolution of ethylene from methionine. The production of endogenous ethylene does not return to rates normal for naturally ripening fruit after the exogenous ethylene is removed. The extent of inhibition is related to the concentration of applied ethylene up to 5-10 p.p.m., and to the duration of treatment within the period 12 hI' to 3 days. Other characteristics of ripening appear to develop normally, except in the shorter treatments, where respiration shows a lower climacteric peak and chlorophyll breakdown is delayed. The responses of separated peel and pulp sections to exogenous ethylene were also examined. Pulp sections ripened and showed suppression of endogenous ethylene as did whole slices. Peel sections showed a climacteric-like respiratory response to exogenous ethylene but ethylene production remained at the levels of non-gassed sections following either a I-day or a 3-day treatment. It is suggested that ripening of the peel in whole fruit depends on the ethylene produced by the pulp. Exogenous ethylene also reduces the amount of endogenous ethylene induced by infiltration with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. In this instance the effect is dissociated from ripening, which is delayed by the auxin, and suggests that the auxin-induced ethylene production arises via the same pathways involved in natural ripening or ones equally susceptible to suppression by exogenous ethylene.
