Molecular cloning and characterization of four genes encoding ethylene receptors associated with pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) flowering

Exogenous ethylene, or ethephon, has been widely used to induce pineapple flowering, but the molecular mechanism behind ethephon induction is still unclear. In this study, we cloned four genes encoding ethylene receptors (designated AcERS1a, AcERS1b, AcETR2a and AcETR2b). The 5′ flanking sequences o...
