Interactions with the ethylene pathway: a puzzle yet to be completed

  • Conference paper
Book cover Advances in Plant Ethylene Research

Plants perceive a plethora of external signals and continuously adapt to changes in their environment. This phenotypic plasticity is obtained by integration of external signals as light and temperature, with internal, mainly hormonal signals that regulate development (Vandenbussche and Van Der Straeten, 2004).
