PREFACE
This volume contains the main lectures and poster contributions presented
at the 7th International Symposium on the Plant Hormone Ethylene held
in Pisa (Italy), June 18-22, 2006. This international scientific event was
organized by the University of Padova and the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna
of Pisa and took place on the premises of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna.
We would like to thank the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the
Ministry of University and Scientific Research of Italy, the University of
Padova and the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa for partially funding
this symposium. Appreciation is also extended to a number of local institu-
tions that generously contributed to the success of this important event.
We are indebted to the members of the scientific committee. A special
appreciation goes to the local organizing committee headed by Prof.
Giovanni Serra.
Finally, we gratefully acknowledge Dr. Alessandro Botton for handling
all the editorial aspects concerning the publication of this volume.

The Editorial Board
We dedicate the Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on the
Plant Hormone Ethylene to the memory of our dear friend and colleague,
Tony Bleecker. Tony is greatly missed by the community of ethylene bi-
ologists. His unique and seminal discoveries, together with his intermina-
ble passion for science, leave a deep and lasting impact. From developing
the phenotypic assay that led to the elaboration of the ethylene signal
transduction pathway to identifying the ethylene receptor and providing
key insights into its function, Tony continually illuminated and drove our
understanding of ethylene perception. His contributions and influence
were far-reaching. He brought vision and originality, and we delighted in
his keen intellect. He was a champion of the Socratic method of inquiry,
always challenging us to think along with him. He freely shared his time
and materials with all of us and collaborated widely. He will remain an
inspiration to us.
