Abstract
The gaseous hormone ethylene regulates a diverse range of plant development and stress responses. Ethylene biosynthesis is tightly regulated by the transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthetic enzymes. ACC synthase (ACS) is the rate-limiting enzyme that controls the speed of ethylene biosynthesis in plant tissues, thus serving as a primary target for biotic and abiotic stresses to modulate ethylene production. Despite the critical role of ACS in ethylene biosynthesis, only a few regulatory components regulating ACS stability or ACS transcript levels have been identified and characterized. Here we show a genetic approach for identifying novel regulatory components in ethylene biosynthesis by screening EMS-mutagenized Arabidopsis seeds.
