The involvement of ethylene and ethylene receptor Ethylene Response 1 (ETR1) in plant stress responses has been highlighted. However, the physiological processes involved remain unclear. In this study, we have investigated the physiological response of two allelesetr1-1andetr1-7mutants during germination and post-germination seedling development in response to salt and osmotic stress. Theetr1-1mutants showed increased sensitivity to osmotic (200 mM or higher mannitol) and salt stress (50 mM NaCl or higher) during germination and seedling development, whereas theetr1-7mutants displayed enhanced tolerance to the severe stresses (500 mM mannitol or 200 mM NaCl). These results provide physiological and genetic evidence that ethylene receptor ETR1 modulates plant response to abiotic stress. Furthermore, theetr1-1andetr1-7mutants showed different responses to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) inhibition. Theetr1-1mutants were more sensitive to ABA than the wild type during germination, and young seedling development. In sharp contrast, theetr1-7mutants showed enhanced insensitivity to ABA treatment (>1 μM ABA) in post-germination development including root elongation and greening of cotyledons of the treated seedlings, although the germination was not greatly altered at the tested doses of ABA. The results suggest that ETR1-modulated stress response may mediate ABA.
