The possible role of C2H4 metabolism in mediating the responses of plants to C2H4 is re-examined. It is demonstrated that (i) the effects of inhibitors upon C2H4 action do not correspond with their effects on metabolism, (ii) elicitors of C2H4 effects do not have appropriate effects on C2H4 metabolism, (iii) inhibitors of C2H4 metabolism do not affect the response of plants to C2H4. It is concluded that metabolism of C2H4 is not linked to the mode of action of the growth regulator.
重新审视了 C2H4 代谢在介导植物对 C2H4 反应中的可能作用。结果表明：（i）抑制剂对 C2H4 作用的影响与它们对代谢的影响不相符；（ii）C2H4 效应的诱导剂对 C2H4 代谢没有适当的影响；（iii）C2H4 代谢抑制剂不影响植物对 C2H4 的反应。因此，C2H4 的代谢与生长调节剂的作用模式无关。
