Abstract

Recent work has expanded our understanding of the roles of cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) in plant signaling. In this spotlight article, we discuss advances and future perspectives in determining how CNGCs mediate calcium signaling in response to diverse stimuli.

Keywords: calcium; channels; cyclic nucleotide-gated channels; signaling; CNGC.
