Ethylene inhibits photosynthesis via temporally distinct responses in tomato plants KU Leuven
Ethylene is a volatile plant hormone that regulates many developmental processes and responses towards (a)biotic stress. Studies have shown that high levels of ethylene repress vegetative growth in many important crops, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), possibly by inhibiting photosynthesis. We investigated the temporal effects of ethylene on young tomato plants using an automated ethylene gassing system to monitor the physiological, ...
