TLDR
Biotechnological modifications of ethylene synthesis and of sensitivity to ethylene are promising methods to prevent spoilage of agricultural products such as fruits, whose ripening is induced by ethylene.
Abstract
▪ Abstract Ethylene regulates a multitude of plant processes, ranging from seed germination to organ senescence. Of particular economic importance is the role of ethylene as an inducer of fruit rip...

Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms

TL;DR: Features of the rhizosphere that are important for nutrient acquisition from soil are reviewed, with specific emphasis on the characteristics of roots that influence the availability and uptake of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic regulation of fruit development and ripening

TL;DR: Light is shed on the molecular basis of developmental ripening control, suggested common regulators of climacteric and nonclimacteric ripening physiology, and how these regulators affect human and animal diets.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and root system functioning.

TL;DR: Novel knowledge and gaps on PGPR modes of action and signals are addressed, recent progress on the links between plant morphological and physiological effects induced by PGPR are highlighted, and the importance of taking into account the size, diversity, and gene expression patterns of PGPR assemblages in the rhizosphere to better understand their impact on plant growth and functioning is shown.

Sugar Sensing and Signaling in Plants

TL;DR: In addition to their essential roles as substrates in carbon and energy metabolism and in polymer biosynthesis, sugars have important hormone-like functions as primary messengers in signal transduction.

CTR1, a negative regulator of the ethylene response pathway in Arabidopsis, encodes a member of the raf family of protein kinases

TL;DR: A recessive Arabidopsis mutant, ctr1, that constitutively exhibits seedling and adult phenotypes observed in plants treated with the plant hormone ethylene is isolated and the DNA sequences of four mutant alleles were determined.
