Abstract
Although ethylene has long been recognized as a plant hormone, it is only recently that the ethylene receptor has been subjected to detailed study. Most reviews on ethylene signal transduction do not discuss much about ethylene interaction with the ethylene receptor except to mention that ethylene does bind to the receptor. This review will concentrate on the interaction of ethylene, ethylene agonists, and antagonists with the receptor. It is important that we identify the factors that determine compound binding and activity whether the compound is an ethylene agonist or an ethylene antagonist. It is important that findings from past work be noted in concordance with newfound results that contribute to our knowledge of the many compounds known to bind to the receptor. In recent years, the number and type of compounds that interact with the receptor has been expanded considerably. Some of these compounds appear to be useful both for basic research and for practical purposes. Many more may be discovered. It is the intent here to present some of what is known about both ethylene antagonists and agonists that have been found with the hope that the information will help lead to other compounds.
