introduction of a gene encoding a chimeric protein consisting of EFE and beta-glucuronidase GUS into the tobacco genome using a binary vector which directs expression of the EFE-beta-glucuronidase fusion protein under the control of constitutive promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA. Transgenic plants produce ethylene at consistently higher rates than the untransformed plant, and their beta-glucuronidase activities are expressed in different tissues. A significant dwarf morphology observed in the transgenic tobacco displaying the highest ethylene production resembles the phenotype of a wild-type plant exposed to excess ethylene |

| 1.13.12.19 | biotechnology |
different cultivation factors on ethylene formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the EFE in continuous cultures is investigated. Main finding is that oxygen availability is crucial for ethylene production. By employing three different nitrogen sources it is shown that the nitrogen source available can both improve and impair the ethylene productivity |

| 1.13.12.19 | synthesis |
biological ethylene production can be achieved via expression of the ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE), found in some bacteria and fungi. It has the potential to provide a sustainable alternative to steam cracking. Ethylene is an important industrial compound for the production of a wide variety of plastics and chemicals |
