ABSTRACT

Ethylene is a simple gaseous phytohormone, a hydrocarbon C2H4, with various roles in the regulation of plant development, growth and stress responses, and whole biological processes. Ethylene modifies efficiency and all functions by sharing information with other signalling pathways in regular and stressful ecosystems. It can achieve a variety of different metabolic mechanisms with significant results based on the accumulation rate and plant sensitivity. The results indicate that ethylene generates dual properties in acceptable tolerances through the cellular and molecular regulation of plant mechanisms. This book helps to better understand the potential mechanisms in natural and stressful situations as a signal molecule in plant production and development. In addition, a study explores how ethylene signalling has been used as signals for some alternating pathways in agriculture. This chapter studies the adaptation and responses of plants under various stress factors as well as the response of various kinds of ethylene.
