High concentrations of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid inhibited tuberization on aged potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) that had been predisposed to the little tuber disorder. As a result of this treatment sprouts developed which contained relatively high levels of endogenous gibberellins and which elongated normally. The endogenous cytokinin levels in the different treatments did not change appreciably. It is suggested that tuberization is prevented by ethylene either as a direct inhibition of cell division or that it prevents the endogenous cytokinins from functioning. Irrespective of the mode of action of ethylene, cell division apparently is the primary process affected, the result being that storage tissue required for the accumulation of starch is not formed.
