Are plant endogenous factors like ethylene modulators of the early oxidative stress induced by mercury?

The induction of oxidative stress is one of the quickest symptoms appearing in plants subjected to metal stress. A transcriptional analysis of the early responses of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seedlings to mercury (Hg; 3 µM for 3, 6 and 24 h) showed that up-regulation of genes responding to ethylene...
