Arabidopsis thaliana calmodulin-like protein CML24 regulates pollen tube growth by modulating the actin cytoskeleton and controlling the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration
Cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]cyt), which is essential during pollen germination and pollen tube growth, can be sensed by calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs). The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes over 50 CMLs, the...

Ectopic expression of the apple mhgai2 gene brings about GA-insensitive phenotypes in tomatoes
Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are phytohormones that regulate plant growth and development. DELLA proteins are highly conserved growth repressors that modulate all aspects of GA responses. In this study, an apple
