Abstract The effects of 1,1-dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS) on the in vitro activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase and ACC synthase isolated from senescing carnation petals were investigated. In contrast to a previous proposal, DPSS at 1 mM did not inhibit the in vitro activity of ACC oxidase. It was confirmed that DPSS does not inhibit ACC synthase activity. DPSS probably does not exert its inhibitory action on ethylene production by a direct action on ACC oxidase and ACC synthase, but by some unknown action.
