Ethylene usually inhibited root elongation in various species, but there was some stimulation of growth at low concentrations of the gas. Evidence will be presented that the different growth responses of the roots to ethylene are related to the different levels of endogenous ethylene in these roots. These levels are probably not controlled by auxin in all roots.
