Regulation of ethylene biosynthesis by mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in Arabidopsis
… OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Ethylene (C[subscript2]H[subscript 4]), a simple gaseous hydrocarbon, is an important plant hormone that has profound effects on plant growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Ethylene induces the ripening of climacteric fruits, …

Function of abscisic acid in maintenance of maize primary root growth under water deficit
… that one of the functions of ABA is to restrict ethylene evolution. These studies were conducted by using carotenoid deficient seedlings to induce ABA deficiency. Using the recently available ABA-deficient mutant vp14, it was confirmed that endogenous ABA accumulation maintains root growth under …

Isolation and molecular characterisation of two Pseudomonas sp. ACC deaminase genes
The phytohormone ethylene is essential to many plant developmental processes, of which the control of climacteric fruit ripening is among the best characterised. However this hormone eventually causes fruit rotting which results in a non-marketable product. One approach to reduce ethylene synthesis …

The role of auxin and ethylene in adventitious root formation in Arabidopsis and tomato
… ACC treatment and mutations that cause enhanced ethylene synthesis reduced adventitious root formation in Arabidopsis, but enhanced adventitious root formation in tomato, with opposite effects found in ethylene insensitive mutations. These results are consistent with ethylene oppositely …

Dormancy and sprout control in root and tuber crops
… growth was decreased by 20 ml/L piccolo (GA synthesis inhibitor). Continuous application of 10 ppm ethylene or greater prevented sprouting in sweetpotato roots over 4 weeks storage at 25° C. Sprout growth was also inhibited by 1000 ppm aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) (ethylene synthesis …

Relationship of free radical scavenging enzymes to fruit growth, development, ripening, and senescence in 'Red Delicious' apples
… full fruit development, which might be linked to ethylene synthesis. PPO activity remained relatively low during flower and early stages of fruit development, increased after active cell division phase, then slightly declined at full maturity. Activities of these enzymes did not show consistently …

Physiological, hormonal and metabolic alterations caused by selenium in rice seedlings
… in levels of plant hormones, such as auxin and ethylene. However, the impact of Se supply on relationships between hormones biosynthesis and primary metabolism during growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings is poorly understood. Thus, the hypothesis that Se induces changes in the interactions …
