Rice ethylene receptors OsERS1/2 function as Ca2+-permeable channels mediating calcium-dependent antagonism of ethylene-induced root growth inhibition
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: dependent regulatory mechanism requires OsERS1/2. Collectively, these findings uncover an unexpected ion channel function of ethylene receptors, redefining their molecular identity beyond canonical hormone signaling receptors. Moreover, our work introduces the concept of "hormone receptor-type ion channels (HRICs)" as a new functional category, expanding our understanding of how plant hormones transduce signals at the molecular level.
