• Usually it’s conditions like heat and drought that lead to this stress, and when they’re stressed, plants might not grow as large or produce as much.
• Similarly, improving the ability of plants to survive stress often results in plants that produce less because they put more energy into protection than into growth.
• I have been studying how the plant hormone ethylene regulates growth and stress responses in plants.

Ethylene is a plant hormone

• Ethylene was first discovered as a gaseous plant hormone over 100 years ago.
• Since then, research has shown that all land plants that have been studied make ethylene.

Ethylene as a way to ‘prime’ plants

• My lab focuses on how plants and bacteria sense ethylene and on how it interacts with other hormone pathways to regulate plant development.
• For this experiment, we’d exposed the seeds to ethylene gas for several days to see what effect this might have.
• They had larger leaves as well as longer and more complex root systems than plants that had not been exposed to ethylene.

• My colleagues and I wanted to know if diverse plant species showed growth stimulation when exposed to ethylene during seed germination.
• We tested the effects of short-term ethylene treatment on germinating tomato, cucumber, wheat and arugula seeds – all grew bigger.
• Studies have looked at how plants grow after priming at various ages and stages of development.

How does it work?

• One is that ethylene priming increases photosynthesis, the process plants use to make sugars from light.
• Correlating with the increase in photosynthesis is a large increase in carbohydrate levels throughout the plant.
• Understanding the mechanisms for this is more important than ever and could help improve crop production to feed the world’s population.
