Abstract

Ethylene is a gas and a plant hormone with wide ranging effects and a well defined signaling pathway. The recent identification of ethylene receptors in various microorganisms provides new insights into the early propagation of the ethylene signaling pathway in the course of evolution.

Keywords: amebas; bacteria; ethylene; fungi; phytohormones; receptors.
