Submarine crews may carry potted tomato plants as ethylene detectors, acting as warning devices for gas leaks. Plants respond to very dilute ethylene by altering petiole growth, bending downward, offering a potential early danger signal before canaries or other detectors. Ethylene exposure while inverted also fails to trigger the response due to anesthesia.
