I am currently doing a literuature search trying to understand how the ethylene response during the ripening of fruit initiates the production of volitiles.

 

I have found several different studies on tomatoes, melon, arabidopsis, and other fruit. But I have yet to see any proposed pathways that the ethylene response triggers.

 

Does anyone know a good reference?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but try this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

Herpguy,

 

I need much more than just a general encyclopedia.

What? Wikipedia always helps me, and you said you wanted a reference, so I gave you Wikipedia.

But I have yet to see any proposed pathways that the ethylene response triggers.

The encyclopedia answered that.

Wiki's just a brief synopsis of many different extremely complex subjects. If you a lookin for a very basic understanding of a subject it is a valuable resource. But if you are looking for a more detailed anaylisis you really need to delve into the literature (i.e. scientific journals etc.)

Alright then, good luck!
