Ethylene control of anthocyanin formation functions only through light-initiated synthesis pathways of the rapid synthesis phase. Treatment with ethylene in the dark had no effect on dark anthocyanin synthesis in red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). Pretreatment of both red cabbage and sorghum (Sorghum vulgare L.) with ethylene for 24 hours in the dark did increase the rate of synthesis when the tissue was placed in the light. Light-initiated anthocyanin synthesis is inhibited by ethylene when the tissue is returned to the dark.
乙烯对花青素形成的调控仅通过光启动的快速合成阶段的合成途径起作用。在黑暗中用乙烯处理对红甘蓝（Brassica oleracea L.）的暗花青素合成没有影响。在黑暗中用乙烯对红甘蓝和高粱（Sorghum vulgare L.）预处理24小时，当将组织置于光照下时，确实会提高合成速率。当组织回到黑暗中时，光启动的花青素合成会受到乙烯的抑制。
