Ethylene biosynthesis and signalling. Ethylene is synthesized from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) by ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) to form ethylene. Ethylene is perceived by a range of receptors and the signal is further transduced by kinase CTR1 and EIN2. A family of EIN3 transcription factors are activated by ethylene. Proteins marked with a cross are most probably lost in Z. muelleri. Proteins marked with a tick are most probably present.
