LITERATURE
agriculture
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

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
