The fragrant rose, Rosa bourboniana, is highly sensitive to ethylene and shows rapid petal abscission (within 16–18 h) while the non-fragrant hybrid rose, R. hybrida, shows delayed abscission (50–52 h) due to reduced ethylene sensitivity. To understand the molecular basis governing these differences, all components of the ethylene pathway (biosynthesis/ receptor/signalling) were studied for expres ...
