ACC, a novel signaling molecule in plants, not just the precursor of ethylene! Ghent University
A major challenge in sustainable agriculture is to secure crop productivity under adverse environmental conditions in order to match the growing world population. Plants are exposed to multiple abiotic stresses such as submergence -an increasing problem due to global climate change- and cadmium accumulation in soil, resulting in important crop losses. Ethylene is known to be a crucial player in stress control. The non-proteinogenic ...
