While its agricultural effects were known even in ancient Egypt, the complexity of its mode of action and the broad spectrum of its effects and potential uses in plant physiology remain important scientific challenges today. In the last few decades, the biochemical pathway of ethylene production has been uncovered, ethylene perception and signaling have been molecularly dissected, ethylene-responsive transcription factors have been identified and numerous effects of ethylene have been described, ranging from water stress, development, senescence, reproduction plant-pathogen interactions, and of course, ripening. Thus ethylene is involved in plant development, in biotic and abiotic stress, and in reproduction. There is no stage in plant life that is not affected by ethylene, modulated by a complex and fascinating molecular machinery."One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel"One rotten apple spoils the whole barrelBotany & plant sciencesbicsscC2H4ethylenePlant Biochemistryplant developmentPlant hormonePlant molecular biologyPlant Pathologyplant physiologyplant reproductionPlant StressBotany & plant sciencesDomenico De Martinisauth1305924Caren ChangauthTomotsugu KoyamaauthBOOK9910137091203321"One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel": The plant hormone ethylene, the small molecule and its complexity3040025UNINA
