It is Known that the Pentuple ACS Mutant is known to show greater suspectibility to pathogens, ACS is also responsible forACC to ethylene conversion. While it is also seen that jasmonates are very important in pathogen resistance. It was seen that in the presence of ethylene jasmonate methyl transferase(JMT) levels go down JMT is a enzyme that is responsible for conversion of jasmonate to methyl jasmonate and going down of JMT level will mean that plants are more disease suspetible. so hypothesize whether ethylene can increase pathogen resistance or decrease pathogen response. if it can increase pathogen resistnace give a valid pathway.
