Abstract:

Ethylene receptor is the first transduction element of ethylene signal transduction network. By regulating the expression of ethylene receptor gene,plant ethylene sensitivity can be adjusted to regulate the response in fruit ripening and flower senescence. With the deep study of ethylene receptor,the application of ethylene receptor mutants and receptor inhibitors has earned continuous concern in postharvest fruit and cut flower preservation. This paper reviewed the research progress of ethylene receptor in recent years,and emphatically introduced the molecular regulatory mechanism of ethylene receptor and the application of ethylene receptor in plant fruit ripening and flower senescence were. The paper also prospected research direction of ethylene receptor,aiming to provide reference for further research.

Key words: ethylene receptor, ethylene signal transduction, fruit ripening, flower senescence
