The effect of ethylene regulation on a-farnesene biosynthesis in preclimateric ‘Delicious’ and ‘Granny Smith’ apples was studied using an ethylene inducer and inhibitor, a-farnesene biosynthesis precursors, and protein transcription and translation inhibitors. a-Farnesene was not detectable when internal ethylene concentrations were less than 1 ml l. Correlations between internal ethylene and a...
