Pharmacological Analysis of Nod Factor-Induced Calcium Spiking in Medicago truncatula. Evidence for the Requirement of Type IIA Calcium Pumps and Phosphoinositide Signaling1

Bacterial Nod factors trigger a number of cellular responses in root hairs of compatible legume hosts, which include periodic, transient increases in cytosolic calcium levels, termed calcium spiking. We screened 13 pharmaceutical modulators of eukaryotic signal transduction for effects on Nod factor-induced calciu...

Ethylene inhibits the Nod factor signal transduction pathway of Medicago truncatula
Plant Cell ; Legumes form a mutualistic symbiosis with bacteria collectively referred to as rhizobia. The bacteria induce the formation of nodules on the roots of the appropriate host plant, and this process requires the bacterial signaling molecule Nod factor. Although the interaction is beneficial to the

The Independent - London ; Fertilisation of the egg is said to be the only aspect of cell biology familiar to the lay person. But how, precisely, does a sperm switch on the egg, a thousand-fold bigger, to start the cell divisions that result in formation of the early embryo? Roy Cuthbertson showed in 1985 that the sperm
