}Plants use a structurally very simple gas molecule, the hydrocarbon ethylene, to modulate various developmental programs and coordinate responses to a multitude of external stress factors. How this simple molecule generates such a diverse array of effects has been the subject of intense research for the past two decades. A fascinating signaling pathway, with classical as well as novel plant-specific signaling elements, is emerging from these studies. We describe the four main modules that…

The phytohormone ethylene is a principal modulator in many aspects of plant life, including various mechanisms by which plants react to pathogen attack, and cross-talk occurs with other defense response pathways controlled by salicylic acid and jasmonate, eventually resulting in a differentiated disease response.

Ethylene signaling pathway is not linear, however its lateral part is responsible for sensing and signaling of sulfur status in plants

It is shown that silver nitrate mimics the signal of sulfur starvation at the transcriptome level, which indicates that ethylene receptors are localized at the beginning of the response to sulfur deficiency in plants, and means that the non-linear, lateral part of ethylene signaling pathway exists and is responsible for transduction of the signals of sulfur deficit.

Two studies using Arabidopsis thaliana, one genetic and the other biochemical, have provided complementary evidence for the role of copper in ethylene perception, closing this argument and suggesting that metal metabolism may have a critical role not only in Ethylene perception but also in ethane signaling.
