| Abstract: | The enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase promotes plant growth by sequestering and cleaving plant-produced ACC thereby lowering the level of ethylene in the plant. Decreased ethylene levels allow the plant to be more resistant to a wide variety of environmental stresses. Here the biochemical reaction mechanisms involved in ACC deaminase activity are critically reviewed. |
