Molecular characterization of pathogen-induced SlCBL1-2, a calcium sensor, reveals the structural basis of calcium sensing in tomato
Calcium (Ca 2+ ) is a universal second messenger that orchestrates plant growth, development, and stress responses. Plant calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins sense and relay Ca 2+ ; signals in response to pathogens to activate downstream defense signalling pathways. Early blight disease, caused by the necrotrophic fungal...
