EIN2 protein binds to the messenger RNA
of the ethylene circuit breaker EBF2, incapacitating its protein synthesis, and thus allowing for a full activation of plant ethylene responses.
Not exact matches
The researchers show that, when
ethylene is perceived, transcription
of certain genes that function as
circuit breakers
of ethylene signaling occurs, but protein production becomes restricted until
ethylene is removed.
The most likely cause
of the added risk is exposure to
ethylene glycol ethers, solvents used in etching
circuit patterns on silicon wafers.
