A new phylogenomic study of 86 green plant species traces how the calcium-dependent protein kinase gene family originated, ...
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a calcium-controlled signaling system involving CAMTA6, ...
Using newly generated 'optogenetic' tobacco plants, research teams have investigated how plants process external signals. When it comes to survival, plants have a huge disadvantage compared to many ...
Using newly generated "optogenetic" tobacco plants, research teams from the University of Würzburg's Departments of Plant Physiology and Neurophysiology have investigated how plants process external ...
When plants are subjected to Zn deficiency, the transcriptional levels of Zn-absorbing transporters (such as ZIP4, ZIP9, and ZIP12) are significantly upregulated due to the plant's stress response, ...
Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens, understanding the plant's immune response is of ...
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) act as central decoders of transient cytosolic Ca2+ signatures generated by environmental stimuli. Each CDPK comprises an N-terminal kinase domain and ...
Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a conserved serine/threonine phosphatase that functions as a heterotrimeric holoenzyme, integrating catalytic, scaffold and regulatory subunits to fine-tune ...
