Finally, detailed knowledge of auxin receptor function may stimulate the development of new plant growth ... several other hormone signalling pathways. Figure 3: E3 ligases in ethylene and ...

Dutch phytopathologists have shown that ethylene is vital for the protection of plants against bacteria and fungi. This is another function for the plant hormone already known to play a role in ...

Although the physiological function ... compounds such as ethylene and methyl jasmonate is important for plant defense. There have also been dramatic advances in the area of hormone response ...

Although the plant they studied is the Arabidopsis thaliana, related to cabbage and mustard, ethylene functions as a key hormone in all plants, he adds. The researchers looked at what happens in ...

This conundrum makes it difficult to improve crop production. I have been studying how the plant hormone ethylene regulates growth and stress responses in plants. In a study published in July 2023 ...

Researchers have identified key genes in the ethylene pathway that cause premature fruit drop in China's important oil crop ...

Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that is involved in fruit ripening ... by manipulating haustorial function," says Cui.

“For about 40 years, we have known that the gaseous plant hormone ethylene, which is produced when plants are under stress, such as being flooded, inhibits the symbiosis between plants and fungi,” ...

The gene orchestrates the deepwater rice response via a unique gain-of-function allele. When submerged, rice accumulate ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone. Deepwater rice amplify a signaling relay ...

Ethylene is an important plant hormone. In bananas and many other fruits, production of ethylene surges when the fruit is ready to ripen. This surge triggers the transformation of a hard ...

The cause of fruit ripening is a natural form of a chemical synthesized to make PVC (polyvinyl chloride) piping and plastic bags—namely, a gaseous plant hormone called ethylene. For thousands of ...
