Summary

Ethylene regulates various aspects of plant growth responses and development. Although ethylene is known to be concerned in plant responses to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, comparatively little is known concerning its function in nutritional stress arising from nutrient deficiency or mineral toxicity. This chapter provides a few reports on the interactions between ethylene and mineral nutrients. The synergistic and antagonist effect of mineral nutrients such as macronutrients and micronutrients and other beneficial elements on ethylene plant responses were critically analyzed. Moreover, this chapter highlights the understanding of the interaction between ethylene and nutrients and will provide new strategies for improving crop potency and production in changing environments.
