Ethylene (With Caren Chang) For thousands of years people have been inducing fruit ripening by manipulating ethylene levels, either by wounding or exposing unripe fruit to smoke containing ethylene. What is this tiny hormone, where does it come from and how does it control fruit ripening? How was the seedling triple response instrumental in working out the ethylene signaling pathway? And how can ethylene help rice become flood tolerant, through SNORKELS? First posted October 28, 2010, revised March 11, 2016. www.plantcell.org/cgi/doi/10.1105/tpc.110.tt1010
