Ethylene was first discovered as a gaseous plant hormone over 100 years ago. Since then, research has shown that all land plants that have been studied make ethylene.

Gyeong Mee Yoon’s research group at Purdue studies how the ethylene hormone helps plants adjust their growth and cellar energy levels in response to environmental stress. This photograph compares ...

A research team has uncovered how ethylene, a key plant hormone, enhances peanut seed germination by modulating hormonal ...

Let’s start with ethylene— the only plant hormone that’s a gas. It’s one that humans have been using since way before we knew we were using it. Like, in ancient Egypt, ...

The gaseous plant hormone ethylene causes the plant to switch on a kind of molecular emergency power system that helps it survive the lack of oxygen during flooding.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.1 million grant to Purdue University’s Gyeong Mee Yoon to research how plants acclimate to environmental stress. Her findings could have ...

That's why monitoring the hormone, ethylene, is important. Busch broke down how we are familiar with this hormone in a particular fruit. "You might know it; everyone might know it.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ripening is initiated by an increase in ethylene hormone concentration. E8 gene transcription is fruit-specific and is activated at the onset of ripening and in ...
