In view of the great agricultural importance today of the synthetic plant growth substances in controlling the growth of plants of economic importance, details of the history of this development of investigations on plant hormones are presented. 

The facts indicate that the plant growth substances must effect their inhibitions by forming loose combinations, or easily dissociated compounds, with enzymes or metabolites in the plant cell. 

The discovery of ethylene as a plant growth substance followed from the observation in Germany that leakage of gas used in street lighting was associated with the defoliation of trees. Subsequent research demonstrated the active component as ethylene, which was then implicated in the endogenous acceleration of ripening, the promotion of flowering and sex determination in addition to abscission of plant parts.
