On the Relevance and Control of Leaf Angle (2010, background): “Low quantities of ethylene triggered hyponasty in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) (Pierik et al., 2003).”
Above‐ and below‐ground competition cues elicit independent responses (2007, background): “Blue light, light intensity and ethylene have been shown to serve as above-ground competition cues, or to interact with R : FR (Ballaré 1999; Pierik et al. 2003, 2004; Franklin & Whitelam 2005; Vandenbussche et al. 2005).”
Root-emitted volatile organic compounds: can they mediate belowground plant-plant interactions? (2016, background): “…cues, it has been shown that tobacco plants must be able to perceive the phytohormone ethylene in order to develop a shadeavoidance phenotype (Pierik et al. 2003), and that barley plants allocated significantly more biomass to their roots when they were exposed to the volatiles emitted by…”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, background): “However, recent work with tobacco suggests an alternative explanation may be possible as well (Pierik et al. 2003).”
