This prepares the previously unchallenged parts of the plant for a possible attack. Until now, researchers did not fully understand this interplay between calcium and reactive oxygen species and ...

The plant was mosaic; it carried the plasmid DNA in some leaf arms ... Hedrich’s team is currently working to knock out a calcium channel gene hyperosmolality-gated calcium-permeable channel (OSCA).
