CML20 integrates phytochrome and calcium signaling pathways to optimize seed germination under abiotic stress
It is demonstrated that salt and osmotic stresses rapidly increase cytosolic Ca2+ in imbibed seeds, and that the calcium sensor CALMODULIN-LIKE 20 (CML20) is crucial for germination tolerance to these stresses.
