Interactions of Ethylene and Other Signals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ethylene in Plants

Abstract

As sessile organisms, plants utilize a wise strategy for adapting to the environment. The strategy involves the integration of its internal hormone signaling variations with exogenous environmental changes to coordinate plant growth and development. Like other phytohormones, ethylene plays a key role in these integration processes. In this chapter, we will discuss the interactions of ethylene with environmental signal (light) and several internal hormones (auxin, jasmonate, and gibberellins) in the regulation of plant growth, and highlight the recent advances in understanding their associated molecular mechanisms.
