Effect of wind velocity on ethylene release rate of intact lettuce plant was investigated. Lettuce plants were grown at wind velocities of 0.1, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.4 m s^-1 for 25 to 33 days and then used for ethylene measurement. When ethylene release rate of the plants grown at a wind velocity of 0.1 m s^-1 was measured at wind velocities of 0.2, 0.6 and 1.0m s^-1, the rate was not affected by wind velocity. This result indicates that ethylene diffusion from lettuce leaf to atmosphere is not affected by boundary layer conditions. When ethylene release rate of the plants grown at wind velocities of 0.1, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.4 m s^-1 was measured at the same wind velocity as growing conditions, the rate was scarcely increased by high velocity of wind. A strong wind (4.0 m s^-1), which induced wounding damage in small areas of the leaves, had no measurable effect on a ethylene release of the whole plant.
