The ethylene gas signal transduction pathway in plants
Ethylene induces diverse effects in plants throughout their life-cycle. Ethylene is synthesized from S-adenosyl-L-methionine via 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). The enzymes catalyzing the two reaction in this pathway are ACC synthase and ACC oxidase. Components of the ethylene signal tr...

| Summary: | Ethylene induces diverse effects in plants throughout their life-cycle. Ethylene is synthesized from S-adenosyl-L-methionine via 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). The enzymes catalyzing the two reaction in this pathway are ACC synthase and ACC oxidase. Components of the ethylene signal transduction pathway have been identified by characterization of ethylene-response mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana. Ethylene binding to receptors with homology to two-component regulators triggers a kinase cascade that is propagated through the CTR1 Faf-like kinase and other components to the nucleus. EIN3 is a putative transcription factor involved in regulating expression of ethylene-responsive genes, then eliciting a response appropriate to the original stimulus. |
