✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the mechanism of action of the plant hormone ethylene by analyzing the expression of ethylene-inducible genes isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). We have found that the expression of each cloned gene is regulated by ethylene in a unique manner. That is, for certain genes ethylene affects transcriptional processes, while for another gene it affects both transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Furthermore, induction of gene transcription by ethylene is organ specific for one gene, while for others it is not. In addition, we have measured gene expression as a function of ethylene concentration and have found that each gene displays a unique ethylene dose-response curve. Our results suggest that ethylene modulates gene expression by a variety of mechanisms.

## Abstract Many common human traits are believed to be a composite reflection of multiple genetic and non‐genetic factors and the genetic contribution is consequently often difficult to characterise. Recent advances suggest that subtle variation in the regulation of gene expression may contribute
