Accumulation of carotenoid pigments in the shoot apex of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum cv. Alaska) seedlings is completely prevented by ethylene. Under certain conditions carotenoid synthesis is normally controlled by endogenously produced ethylene. The gas completely inhibits carotenoid synthesis induced either by continuous white light or brief illumination with red light, but only partially inhibits light-induced chlorophyll formation. Far red illumination followed by red illumination reverses the action of red light on carotenoid synthesis. Red light-induced carotenogenesis is partly or wholly caused by phytochrome-mediated inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis.
乙烯完全阻止黄化豌豆（Pisum sativum cv. Alaska）幼苗茎尖类胡萝卜素色素的积累。在某些条件下，类胡萝卜素的合成通常受内源性产生的乙烯控制。该气体完全抑制由连续白光或短暂红光照射诱导的类胡萝卜素合成，但仅部分抑制光诱导的叶绿素形成。远红光照射后紧接着红光照射可逆转红光对类胡萝卜素合成的作用。红光诱导的类胡萝卜素生物合成部分或完全由光敏色素介导的乙烯生物合成抑制引起。
