Ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) act synergistically or antagonistically to regulate plant growth and development. ABA is derived from the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Here, we analyzed the interplay among ethylene, carotenoid biogenesis, and ABA in rice (Oryza sativa) using the rice ethylene response mutant mhz5, which displays a reduced ethylene response in roots but an enhanced ethylene response in coleoptiles.

- * A review of over 150 RNAi experiments reveals that RNAi is most effective in the Saturniidae family and immunity-related genes, while epidermal gene expression is more challenging to silence.
- * The study highlights the need for more research on RNAi mechanisms in Lepidoptera and its links to immune responses, with ongoing data collection to improve understanding through a public database.
