Abstract excerpt
Since the first plant cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel (CNGC), HvCBT1, was identified as a calmodulin binding protein, more than a decade has passed and a substantial amount of work has been done to understand the molecular nature and function of these channel proteins. Based on electrophysiological and heterologous expression analyses, plant CNGCs function as non-selective cation channels and, so far, their...
