Abstract excerpt
Ethylene governs a range of developmental and response processes in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Raf-like kinase CTR1 acts as a key negative regulator of ethylene responses. While only one gene with CTR1 function apparently exists in Arabidopsis, we have isolated a family of CTR1- like genes in tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum ). Based on amino acid alignments and phylogenetic analysis, these tomato CTR1-...
