Ethylene exhibits its characteristic triple response in seedlings, which includes:
1. Inhibition of stem elongation, thickening of the stem, and horizontal growth.
2. Increased leaf expansion, root elongation, and faster seed germination.
3. Acceleration of flowering, increased transpiration, and decreased chlorophyll content.
4. Suppression of fruit ripening, promotion of seed dormancy, and increased stomatal closure.
