Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
ETHYLENE controls many physiological and developmental processes in higher plants, including ripening of fruit, abscission, senescence and responses to wounding. Although the accumulation of messenger RNAs in ripening fruit and senescing leaves has been correlated with ethylene production and perception, the regulatory mechanisms governing ethylene synthesis and the stimulation of gene expression by ethylene are not understood. We have previously shown that the complementary DNA, pTOM13, corresponds to an mRNA whose synthesis is correlated with that of ethylene in ripening fruit and wounded leaves. The pTOM13 mRNA encodes a protein of relative molecular mass 35,000. The cDNA and three related genomic clones have been sequenced, but the function of the protein is unknown. We show here that antisense RNA, which has previously been used only to reduce the expression of genes of known function, when applied to pTOM13, reduces ethylene synthesis in a gene dosage-dependent manner. Analysis of these novel mutants suggests that pTOM13 encodes a polypeptide involved in the conversion of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid to ethylene by the ethylene-forming enzyme (ACC-oxidase). © 1990 Nature Publishing Group.
