Plant Ethylene Detection

Ethylene is regarded as a multifunctional gaseous hormone that regulates seed germination, growth, development and senescence of leaf and flower, ripening and senescence of fruit, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Ethylene can be produced by almost all plant tissues, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, tubers, and seeds. Different from other hormones, the level of ethylene in plant is not regulated through transport, degradation, and inactivation. The content of ethylene is controlled by the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis. The production of ethylene can be affected by various developmental and environmental factors. Ethylene production is induced during certain stages of growth such as seed germination, fruits ripening leaves abscission, and flowers senescence. Ethylene production can also be induced by a variety of external aspects such as flooding, drought, chilling, mechanical wounding, pathogen attack, and certain chemicals including auxin and other regulators. The concentration of ethylene influences its effect on the growth and senescence processes. Ethylene is of great significance in agriculture and crop breeding due to its effects on fruit ripening and organs abscission.

STEMart is able to efficiently and accurately detect the content and changes of ethylene in plant samples based on LC-MS platform.
