Mechanisms of calcium homeostasis orchestrate plant growth and immunity

Nonpathogenic Pseudomonas syringae derivatives and its metabolites trigger the plant “cry for help” response to assemble disease suppressing and growth promoting rhizomicrobiome

Linking ligand perception by PEPR pattern recognition receptors to cytosolic Ca ²⁺ elevation and downstream immune signaling in plants

Ca ^{2 +} signaling by plant Arabidopsis thaliana Pep peptides depends on AtPepR1, a receptor with guanylyl cyclase activity, and cGMP-activated Ca ²⁺ channels
