A research team has uncovered how ethylene, a key plant hormone, enhances peanut seed germination by modulating hormonal ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Cyanide is an adequate agonist of the plant hormone ethylene for studying signaling of sensor kinase ETR1 at the molecular level. Biochem J 2012; 444: 261–267.

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

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.

This was down to the up-regulation of an ethylene pathway that increases the plant’s response to the hormone. Overall the results demonstrate that the interaction between ethylene and PXY signalling ...

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.
