Some given statements about ethylene signalling pathways are listed;

a) Ethylene receptors are interact with two downstream signaling proteins, CTR1 (CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1) and EIN3 (ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3)

b) CTR1 is a soluble serine/threonine kinase that is associated with ethylene receptors, while EIN2 is an ER transmembrane protein with a cytosolic C-terminal domain that is a target for CTR1 kinase activity

c) EIN2 is required to stabilize transcription factors of the EIN3 (ETHYLENEINSENSITIVE3) family, which activate the transcription of ethylene-responsive genes

d) EIN3 is required to stabilize transcription factors of the EIN2 (ETHYLENEINSENSITIVE2) family, which activate the transcription of ethylene-responsive genes
