Ethylene is a gaseous phytohormone and the first of this hormone class to be discovered. It
is the simplest olefin gas and is biosynthesized by plants to regulate plant development …

Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

Despite its simple two-carbon structure, the olefin ethylene is a potent modulator of plant
growth and development (Ecker, 1995). The plant hormone ethylene is involved in many …

▪ Abstract Ethylene regulates a multitude of plant processes, ranging from seed germination
to organ senescence. Of particular economic importance is the role of ethylene as an …

Fruit development and ripening are unique to plants and represent an important component
of human and animal diets. Recent discoveries have shed light on the molecular basis of …

Temperature influences the seasonal growth and geographical distribution of plants. Heat or
cold stress occur when temperatures exceed or fall below the physiological optimum ranges …

Ethylene regulates plant growth, development, and responsiveness to a variety of stresses.
Cloning of the Arabidopsis EIN2 gene identifies a central component of the ethylene …

Response to the gaseous plant hormone ethylene in Arabidopsis requires the EIN3/EIL
family of nuclear proteins. The biochemical function (s) of EIN3/EIL proteins, however, has …

Eukaryotic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have evolved to transduce
environmental and developmental signals into adaptive and programmed responses. MAPK …

Elucidating the mechanisms involved in ripening of climacteric fruit and the role that
ethylene plays in the process are key to understanding fruit production and quality. In this …
