In banana, ripening is characterized by a climacteric rise in

respiration rate, as evidenced by the increased CO2 production.

A climacteric rise in ethylene production precedes the increase in CO2 production, suggesting that ethylene is the hormone that triggers the ripening process.

In the absence of ethylene, ETR1 and the other ethylene receptors activate the kinase activity of CTR1. This leads to a repression of the ethylene response pathway, possibly through a MAP kinase cascade. 

The binding of ethylene to the ETR1 dimer results in its inactivation, which causes CTR1 to become inactive.

ETO- and CTR- Mutants gives constitutive triple response

CTR- mutants always gives constitutive triple response

CTR1 appears to be related to RAF-1, a MAPKKK serine/ threonine protein kinase
