ethylene production
ethylene gas/glycol
The relationship between ethylene and increased osmotic potential is not well understood.
In the postgerminative period the activity of the last step of ethylene biosynthesis decreased.
Differences in post-thawing survival between ovine morulae and blastocysts cryopreserved with ethylene glycol or glycerol.
In addition, there is direct evidence that ethylene is important for normal seed development in tobacco.
This demonstrates that the endocarp is permeable to ethylene and does not interfere with ethylene production by the seed.
This type of phosphorelay signalling, which is likely to function via histidine protein kinases, involves signal receptors for ethylene, cytokinins, light and osmolarity.
Both amino acids contribute the carbon atoms for ethylene formation.
This may result in the localized build-up of seedling-produced contaminants, such as ethylene, or changes in metabolic gas levels.
