JF - Suid-Afrikaans Tydskrif vir Natuurwetenskap en Tegnologie / <i>South African Journal of Science and Technology</i> JA - SATNT VL - 31 IS - 1 SE - Referaatopsommings DO - 10.4102/satnt.v31i1.301 UR - http://www.satnt.ac.za/index.php/satnt/article/view/300 AB - The results of this study indicate that the binding of ethylene to its receptors after a short exposure to ethylene is reversible, while exposure for a longer time period results in irreversible binding. However, if exposure to ethylene exceeds a certain threshold time period, the ethylene binding becomes permanent. ER -
