CMLs

Extracted Explainers

What the tool is doing

CMLs are described as plant-specific calcium sensors that help decode and relay Ca2+ signals.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

They provide a mechanism for translating stimulus-dependent Ca2+ signatures into plant immune responses.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What it does not solve

The abstract does not specify which CMLs act in which pathogens or how they are best measured experimentally.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Alternatives

The review also highlights CaM, CDPKs, and CBLs as other calcium-decoding systems.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Evidence Snippets

The occurrence in plants of calmodulin (CaM) but also of other sets of plant-specific Ca2+ sensors such as calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs)... indicate that plants possess specific tools and machineries to convert Ca2+ signals into appropriate responses.
