Abstract
The etiolated pea stem was one of the first model systems for studying auxin-induced ethylene production. Besides being useful for examining the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, pea seedlings exhibit a number of well-described growth responses mediated, at least in part, by ethylene. This chapter will discuss some of these responses, attempting to integrate earlier observations with more recent information provided by mutants and molecular analysis. It will also summarize our work on the regulation of auxin-induced ethylene biosynthesis and how it may be applicable to the understanding of ethylene-mediated growth responses.
