Growth promotion of pistils in carnation buds ( Dianthus caryophyllus L., cv. White Sim) by 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) can be reversed by administering silver thiosulphate via the stem or 2,5‐norbornadiene in the ambient atmosphere. Double reciprocal plots of relative style growth versus ACC concentration at different inhibitor concentrations suggest the inhibition to be competitive in both cases.
