In this article we will discuss about Ethylene. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Biosynthesis of Ethylene 2. Responses of Plants to Ethylene 3. Mode of Action. Biosynthesis of Ethylene: Lieberman and Mapson (1964), first proposed that the amino acid methionine is the precursor of ethylene. Adams and Yang (1979) established the sequence for the pathway for [...]
In this article we will discuss about Gibberellins. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Biosynthesis of Gibberellins 2. Responses of Plants to Gibberellins 3. Mode of Action 4. Bioassay Methods. Biosynthesis of Gibberellins: Gibberellins are cyclic di-terpenoids or tetraisoprenoids. Biosynthesis of gibberellins follows the basic pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis. All the carbon atoms of isoprene (C5H8) are [...]
