The CALCINEURIN B-LIKE PROTEIN (CBL) and CBL-INTERACTING PROTEIN KINASE (CIPK) network has been identified as a critical component in this signaling pathway. This network helps relay calcium ...
Choanoflagellates, the unicellular relatives of animals, contain components of calcium signaling pathways. However, the functional role of these components in choanoflagellates remains unclear.
Calcium signalling is activated by calcium ions that are released from intracellular stores, or enter the cell via plasma membrane ion channels. Calcium is an important second messenger that ...
Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.
These processes are genetically controlled and depend both on the history of cells (lineage) and on the activities of signalling pathways, which coordinate the cell interactions leading to ...
Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more welcoming to beneficial soil microbes. Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more ...
