Essay

Dissertation thesis presents the investigation of formation and mode of ethylene and abscisic acid action. The received data suggest, that under effect of 2,4-D, ethephon, picloram, and diquat the concentration of abscisic acid was increased in the plants. Abscisic acid decreased oxidative processes and acts as antioxidant. It is found that one of the quick mechanism of abscisic acid increasing can be oxidative degradation of carotenes. It is suggested that under physical and chemical factors the ethylene production is increased. One of the source of ethylene formation is choline and its derivatives
