The plant hormone ethylene is one of the most important, being oneof the first chemicals to be determined as a naturally-occurringgrowth regulator and influencer of plant development. It was alsothe first hormone for which significant evidence was found for thepresence of receptors.
This important new volume in Annual Plant Reviews isbroadly divided into three parts. The first part covers thebiosynthesis of ethylene and includes chapters onS-adenosylmethionine and the formation and fate of ACC in plantcells. The second part of the volume covers ethylene signaling,including the perception of ethylene by plant cells, CTR proteins,MAP kinases and EIN2 / EIN3. The final part covers the control byethylene of cell function and development, including seeddevelopment, germination, plant growth, cell separation, fruitripening, senescent processes, and plant-pathogen interactions.
The Plant Hormone Ethylene is an extremely valuableaddition to Wiley-Blackwell's Annual Plant Reviews. Withcontributions from many of the world's leading researchers inethylene, and edited by Professor Michael McManus of MasseyUniversity, this volume will be of great use and interest to a widerange of plant scientists, biochemists and chemists. Alluniversities and research establishments where plant sciences,biochemistry, chemistry, life sciences and agriculture are studiedand taught should have access to this important volume.
