The activity of a tobacco CDPK(s) is essential for elicitation of the hypersensitive reaction, a typical plant defence response. Moreover, it is becoming apparent that CDPKs might also facilitate cross-talk between different Ca2+-mediated stress signalling pathways. A2 - C1 - Biochemistry of Plant Interactions ER -
