Ethylene promotes a large array of responses in seeds, plants, and fruits (Table I), some similar to and some dissimilar to effects of auxins. Those with actual or potential commercial application include (a) growth promotion of seedlings (rice), (b) inhibition of height growth, (c) root initiation, (d) chlorophyll destruction (citrus), (e) flower initiation (pineapple, bromeliads), (f) stimulation of fruit growth (figs).

Enzyme replacement for exocrine pancreas insufficiency must be adjusted on an individual basis considering age, body weight, weight for height, growth rate, fat intake, supplementary energy needs (particularly for pulmonary function), and clinical as well as laboratory evidence of malabsorption. Clinical symptoms include abdominal pain, distension, intolerance of fatty foods, and character of stools (consistency, number, odor). A more objective assessment involves microscopic examination of stool for neutral and split fats, measurement of fecal chymotrypsin or elastase [96].

High levels of genetic variation in jack pine growth have been documented in numerous studies. Table 1 hsts a sampling of individual and family heritabilities reported for height growth from sites in the central to eastern range (Manitoba [MB], Ontario [ON], Wisconsin [WTj and New Brunswick [NB]).
