Abstract 

The phytohormone ethylene is a principal modulator in many aspects of plant life, including various mechanisms by which plants react to pathogen attack. Induced ethylene biosynthesis and subsequent intracellular signaling through a single conserved pathway have been well characterized. This leads to a cascade of transcription factors consisting of primary EIN3-like regulators and downstream ERF-like transcription factors. The latter control the expression of various effector genes involved in various aspects of systemic induced defense responses. Moreover, at this level significant cross-talk occurs with other defense response pathways controlled by salicylic acid and jasmonate, eventually resulting in a differentiated disease response.
