A 12 year old girl with the Poland syndrome and the 'morning glory' syndrome is described. The patient presented with absence of the left pectoralis major muscle, hypoplasia of the left arm, symbrachydactyly, and ipsilateral coloboma of the optic disc. This is the first report of the association of these two congenital anomalies.

Three cases of morning glory syndrome are described and some new electrofunctional and tomodensitometric findings are reported. The amplitude of the waves of the electroretinogram is reduced and correlates with the extension of the retinal changes. The visually evoked potentials elicited with bright flashes have normal latencies but generally subnormal amplitudes. The amplitude of the potential...

Production of wound ethylene was investigated in rib segments excised from flower buds of morning-glory (Ipomoea tricolor). Segments of the ribs were cut from buds 2 days before flower opening, floated overnight on 5 mm KCl solution, and transferred to agar the following morning. These immature segments evolved only a small quantity of ethylene during incubation on agar, with most of the produc...
