The International Symposium on "Cellular and Molecular Aspects of
Biosynthesis and Action of the Plant Hormone Ethylenc" ,vas held in
Agen, France from August 31 st and September 4th, 1992. The
planning and management of the scientific and social programme of
the Conference were carried out jointly by the "Ethylene Research
Group" of ENSAlIN"P (Toulouse) and Agropole Congres Service (Agen).
Since the last meetings in Israel (1984) and in Belgium (1988),
ethylene physiology has gone through a period of exciting progress
due to new developments in cellular and molecular bioiogy. New
methods and tools have been developed to better understand the role
and functions of ethylene in fruit ripening, flower senescence,
abscission, piant growth, and cell differentiation. Genes involved
in ethylene biosynthesis have been characterized and transgenic
plants with altered ethylene production have been generated. The
feasibility of delaying fruit ripening or flower senescence by
genetic manipulation is now demonstrated, thus opening new
perspectives for the postharvest handling of plant products. Some
progress has also been made on the understanding of ethylene
action. However, much remains to be done in this area to elucidate
the ethylene signal transduction pathway. Around 140 scientists
from 20 countries attended the Symposium. They presented 47 oral
reports and 40 poster demonstrations. All of them are published in
these proceedings. It has been a pleasure for us to organize this
important Symposium and to edit this book.
