Ethylene, which plays an very important regulatory role in various physiological and developmental process of plant, such as fruit ripening, has been studied as a major content in the postharvest physiology. In the past ten years, the regulation of ethylene reception and signal transduction pathway has been studied extensively in the model plant Arabidopsis, but much less is known about the same research in tomato-the model plant material of ripening and senescence research of fruits and vegetab...
