PLASTID ENVELOPE ION CHANNELS (PEC1/2) link Ca 2+ and jasmonic acid signaling in plant cells

Plants constantly encounter adverse environmental interactions. One organelle is particularly specialized in stress signaling and phytohormone synthesis: the plastid. Calcium (Ca 2+ ), a key second messenger, is known to intersect with cellular phytohormone signaling networks. Wh...
