Ethylene is involved in pistil fate by modulating the onset of ovule senescence and the GA-mediated fruit set in <it>Arabidopsis</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ovule lifespan is an important factor in determining the ability to set fruits and produce seeds. Once ovule senescence is established, fruit set capacity in response to gibberellins (GAs) is lost. We aimed to elucidate whether ethyl...
