Abstract:Ethylene is involved in several developmental processes and responses towards (a)biotic stress. In seed plants, ethylene is produced from its precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) by the enzyme ACC-oxidase (ACO). Despite its key role in ethylene synthesis, the ACO gene family has not yet been fully characterized. We investigated the five ACO members of Arabidopsis thaliana and revealed a tissue- and developmentally specific expression pattern. Furthermore, the five ACO enzymes each have a diffe… Show more
