Calcium spikes, waves and oscillations in plant development and biotic interactions
Abstract The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a universal signal in all eukaryotic cells. A fundamental
question is how Ca2+, a simple cation, encodes complex information with high specificity …

Dancing to a different tune, can we switch from chemical to biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable food security?
MY Jhu, GED Oldroyd - PLoS Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Our current food production systems are unsustainable, driven in part through the
application of chemically fixed nitrogen. We need alternatives to empower farmers to …
