Title
The Role of Auxin-Ethylene Crosstalk in Orchestrating Primary Root Elongation in Sugar Beet

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Auxin promoted ethylene biosynthesis, leading to longer roots.
- Mechanism Auxin treatment stimulated ethylene production by redirecting available ACC toward ethylene instead of MACC.
- Intervention effect Endogenous IAA levels were not affected by ACC treatment during germination.
- Mechanism The general model of auxin-ethylene crosstalk, in which ethylene controls auxin biosynthesis and transport, does not occur in sugar beet.
