The ability of Acremonium sp. 502 phytopathogenic fungi to produce ethylene was studied.It was found that Acremonium sp. 502 is able tosynthesize ethylene. The highest level of biosynthesis was recorded after 5 weeks of cultivationthat coincides with the terms of the highest levelof synthesis of cellulases that are involved in thepenetration of the fungus into the plant. A suggestion that ethylene synthesis plays a certainrole in the mechanism of pathogenesis of cucumbers plants is offered.
