摘要

Dear Editor, Ethylene gas is a classic phytohormone regulating many aspects of plant development and defense.Molecular and genetic studies have revealed a highly conserved signaling pathway starting from the ER membrane-as-sociated receptors to transcription factors in the nucleus [1].EIN2 (ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2) is an essential positive regulator of ethylene signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana,as loss-of-function ein2 mutants are completely insensitive to ethylene [2].
