The emanation of Petunia ( Petunia hybrida ) flowers fed with various substrates has been found to be a mixture of at least four gaseous components, one of which being ethylene. The relative proportions of these gases change with the substrate, which therefore means that the compounds generally accepted as ethylene precursors are not all converted primarily into ethylene.
