Hormonal regulation of organ growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Hormone action was until recently mainly viewed as an organ-specific process. Based on recent findings for auxins, gibberellins and brassinosteroids, we speculate that cell type specificity plays a general role in hormone action mechanisms. In this project, cell typespecificity of ethylene action will be addressed by using cell type specific promoters driving EBF1 and EBF2 (EIN3 binding F-box 1 and 2), two regulators of the prevalence of the EIN3/EIL1 proteins, positive regulators of ethylene signaling.
