Ethylene Production as a Drought Stress Response in Cassia corymbosa

Stress - induced Ethylene Production in the Ethylene - requiring Tomato Mutant

Ethylene synthesis in vegetative tisues is thought to be controlled by indoleacetic acid (IAA). However, ethylene synthesis in the diageotropka (dgt) mutant of tomato (Ly mkoaesc MIlL) was much less sensitive to IAA than In the norml variety (VFNS). Yet, mehanial wounding stimuted ethyne production by the mutant. The dgt tomato provides an opportunity to study the regulation of stress ethylene ...

Stress induced ethylene production, ethylene binding, and the response to the ethylene action inhibitor 1-MCP in miniature roses

In an interior environment, the display life of miniature potted roses (Rosa hybrida L.) `Bronze' was 7 days, while that of `Vanilla' was 23 days. Although there was a substantial difference in ethylene production between flowers from two cultivars, there was no difference in binding site activity (kd ˆ 0.14 nl lÿ1). Pre-treatment with the ethylene action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) ...

Programmed Cell Death as a Response to High Light, UV and Drought Stress in Plants

Water-deficit Stress, Ethylene Production, and Ripening in Avocado Fruits.

Differential rates of water loss were achieved in picked avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits, either by controlling the evaporation rate or by supplying water through the fruit stalk. A negative linear correlation was found between the daily rate of water loss from fruits and their ripening, as determined by the time from harvest to peak of ethylene production. Ripening rate was hastened by...

Ethylene production as an indicator of stress conditions in hydroponically-grown strawberries

Ethylene production as an indicator of stress conditions in hydroponically-grown strawberries By Justin Donald Hogan With the worldwide phaseout of methyl bromide, the use of hydroponic systems has increased as an economic alternative for the growth of many horticulturally-important crops, including strawberries. In this study, the effect of hydroponics on strawberry plant physiology was examin...
