Abstract excerpt
Calcium (Ca2+) is essential for plant growth and cellular homeostasis, with cation exchangers (CAXs) regulating Ca2+ transport into plant vacuoles. In Arabidopsis, multiple CAXs feature a common structural arrangement, comprising an N-terminal autoinhibitory domain followed by two pseudosymmetrical modules. Mutations in CAX1 enhance stress tolerance, notably tolerance to anoxia (a condition marked by oxygen...
