Physiological and genetic analysis indicated that the same mutation confers insensitivity to ethylene, supporting the hypothesis that ethylene is a component of the signaling pathway controlling rhizobial infection of legumes.

The. authors show that, depending on light and growth media conditions, ethylene can induce opposite effects on cell expansion in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998, 95:1933-1937. Ethylene insensitive transgenic tobacco plants, obtained by overexpression of the Arabidopsis etr1-1 mutant gene, showed sensitivity to normally nonpathogenic soil-borne fungi.

Using the tomato Never ripe mutant, the authors showed that ethylene insensitive plants exhibited a significant reduction in disease symptoms in comparison to the wild-type, indicating that ethylene is involved in the regulation of the susceptible response to pathogens in tomato.
