A
Increase in ripening of fruits
💡 Explanation:
Ethylene affects fruit - ripening. Normally, when the seeds are mature, ethylene production increases and builds - up within the fruit, resulting in a climacteric event just before seed dispersal. The nuclear protein 'Ethylene Insensitive 2' is regulated by ethylene production, and in turn, regulates other hormones including ABA and stress hormones.
