Ethylene is generally known for multiple functions , right from preevaluation stage to tolerance against diverse biotic and abiotic stress. But in rice, under waterlogged conditions , ethylene plays a harmonal role in leaf growth, mostly the positive effect on leaf expansion...
The role of ethylene in the leaf growth and development has been confirmed ..... In Arabidopsis, through the growth comparison of ethylene-related mutants, .... whereas stimulation in long-day (LD) plants under non-inductive
