Abstract

The involvement of C2H4 in plant responses to a variety of biotic and abiotic stress is well known (Abeles et al., 1992). The biotic stress includes parasitic and non-parasitic plant-microbe interactions, which play an important role in plant growth and development (Arshad and Frankenberger, 1992, 1993, 1998; Frankenberger and Arshad, 1995; Boiler, 1991; Abeles et al., 1992; Beyrle, 1995; Hirsch et al., 1997; Hirsch and Yang, 1994). The role of C2H4 in symbiotic associations is the major focus of this chapter.
