It has been well established that plants are able to fine tune phytohormone responses by control of synthesis and/or perception. Ethylene biosynthesis has been widely studied in a number of species but none more than Arabidopsis and tomato. Tomato provides a unique system to study ethylene biosynthesis because of the large, climacteric-associated increase in production at the onset of ripening.
