Ethylene gas: it's not just for ripening any more

Hormones play a central role in regulating plant growth and development. There are five well-characterized plant hormones, the chemically simplest of which is the gaseous olefin ethylene. Molecular genetic studies of Arabidopsis are beginning to reveal the mechanisms controlling ethylene biosynthesi...

Summary:Hormones play a central role in regulating plant growth and development. There are five well-characterized plant hormones, the chemically simplest of which is the gaseous olefin ethylene. Molecular genetic studies of Arabidopsis are beginning to reveal the mechanisms controlling ethylene biosynthesis, perception and signal transduction.
