Abstract excerpt
Of the 57 cation channel genes in the Arabidopsis genome, over a third encode cyclic nucleotide gated cation channels (CNGCs). CNGCs are ion channels regulated by cytosolic signaling molecules (cyclic nucleotides, calmodulin, and Ca(2+)), and which conduct Ca(2+) as well as K(+) and in some cases Na(+). Little is currently known about the role CNGCs may play in plant growth and development. Here, we examined the...
