Ethylene signaling: from mutants to molecules

The past decade has been incredibly productive for ethylene researchers. Major components in the ethylene signaling pathway in plants have been identified and characterized. The past year's contributions include the crystallographic analysis of the Arabidopsis ETR1 receiver domain, antisense studies of the tomato ethylene receptor genes LeETR4 and NR, and the cloning and functional characterization of several Arabidopsis EREBP-related...
