Discover how placing fruit in a paper bag accelerates ripening—and learn all about ethylene gas and why this simple method is ...

How do symbioses between plants and fungi develop? How do plants decide whether or not to enter into a partnership with fungi ...

Ethylene was first discovered as a gaseous plant hormone over 100 years ago. Since then, research has shown that all land plants that have been studied make ethylene.

Best known for its effects on fruit ripening and flower fading, the gaseous plant hormone ethylene shortens the shelf life of many fruits and plants by putting their physiology on fast-forward. In ...

High heat, ethylene levels independently halt tomato fruit set. Ethylene is an essential plant hormone at low concentrations. Concentrations in the field rarely exceed 5 nmol⋅mol−1 (0.005 ppm ...

Ethylene is the plant hormone that is responsible for ripening and dropping of fruit and leaves from plants. It is produced as a gas and will be produced more in fruit that are injured.

Scientists at the University of Helsinki discovered how plants heal their protective outer layer, the periderm. The diffusion ...

While ethylene is an important plant hormone with its own set of functions, some of these responses that have been attributed to ethylene through ACC may actually be separate ACC responses, ...

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 ...

Learn how striking the right balance with plant growth regulators can reduce fruit drop in 'Honeycrisp' without sacrificing ...

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, ...

While ethylene is an important plant hormone with its own set of functions, some of these responses that have been attributed to ethylene through ACC may actually be separate ACC responses, ...
