Aechmea victoriana var discolor L. B. Foster and Aechmea dactylina Bal. are commercially propagated in vitro through lateral shoot growth. A modified Murashige and Skoog medium is used which contains both BA and IAA. These growth substances were shown in the present study to synergistically stimulate the production of ethylene by the cultured plants. The stimulation of ethylene production is correlated with the outgrowth of the lateral buds. The rise in ethylene production was concluded to induce lateral shoot growth, because: (a) outgrowth of the shoots was blocked by preventing an increase in ethylene production, (b) 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the natural precursor of ethylene biosynthesis, substituted for IAA in the promotion of ethylene production and lateral bud outgrowth. Although ACC could substitute for IAA, it could not substitute for BA; therefore, cytokinins are concluded to be essential for lateral bud outgrowth in vitro in Aechmea. These results suggest that cytokinins and ethylene both play roles in natural lateral bud initiation and that the cytokinin function involves two stages of the process.
