  • These microorganisms have an ETR1 -like gene, but no CTR1 gene, so their ethylene response system would have to be different from that of land plants. (scientificamerican.com)
  • The results of these systematic studies are interpreted with respect to pollination biology, floral development, biogeography and molecular evolution at the ordinal level. (berkeley.edu)
