response until 100 μM. No effects of ACC on hypotocyl length were observed for zinnia, dahlia, lobelia, salvia, or angelonia ( Fig. 1C ). For the seedling hypocotyl elongation screen, we used 10 concentrations of ACC to determine the lowest concentration at

line. Because fructans from asparagus were not available, fructans from dahlia tubers and chicory root were used. Results and Discussion According to Pressman et al. (1993) storage roots of asparagus accumulate primarily fructans and smaller
