Our findings offer a new understanding of how a parasitic plant uses the ethylene molecule to tweak haustorium development and host invasion." Forward genetics is used to identify genes, ...

Yoon carries out her work using Arabidopsis, a well-understood and quick-growing plant.If plant scientists can learn the connection between the ethylene and autophagy pathways in Arabidopsis, she ...

But in all cases, the molecular machinery responsible for sensing the ethylene molecule is exactly the same. Importantly, as the current study shows, it is nearly identical in charophytes as well.

Strong support for molecular cart-wheeling was provided by DFT calculations. For the case of DXE molecules, at the moment of dehalogenation the remnant ethylene molecule recoils from the surface ...

Ethylene, conveniently, can be made out of natural gas liquids, or even shale gas itself. First, a trimer molecule, containing 6 carbon atoms, is formed from ethylene.

Ethylene, a ho-hum material that is the building block of the most common plastic, might have an exciting future in storing hydrogen, the hoped-for transportation fuel of the future.

Whereas one methane molecule is not dehydrogenated by free gold-dimer cations, the cooperative interaction of two methane ligands initiates a catalytic formation of ethylene. The cycle is closed by ...
