The Ca2+ channel CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE GATED CHANNEL13 regulates vasculature-mediated systemic Ca2+ and jasmonate signaling on herbivory.
Insect herbivory triggers rapid local and systemic signaling in plants, including membrane depolarization, cytosolic Ca2+ elevation, and activation of jasmonate-mediated defense pathways. These early events are shaped by calcium-permeable ion channels and regulatory components that generate stimulus-specific Ca2+ signa...
