The role of ethylene in the formation of lysigenous cortical cavities (aerenchyma) in seedling roots of Z. mays L. cv. Capella, was studied under aerated and non-aerated conditions. Passing roots from air to aerated water or from an aerated nutrient solution to a non-aerated solution, promoted cavity formation and was accompanied by an increase of the endogenous ethylene concentration. When the endogenous ethylene concentration of roots in aerated nutrient solutions, which otherwise would not produce much cavities, was enhanced by applying ethylene gas (0.1 and 1.0 .mu.l/l in air) or the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, cavity formation was promoted. When the endogenous ethylene concentration of the roots was reduced by adding the inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis, Co2+ and aminooxyacetic acid, or when the ethylene action was prevented by Ag+, cavity formation was prevented. Evidently endogenous ethylene controls the induction of cavity formation in the roots.
