[HTML][HTML] Abiotic stress signalling pathways: specificity and cross-talk

H Knight, MR Knight - Trends in plant science, 2001 - cell.com
Plants exhibit a variety of responses to abiotic stresses that enable them to tolerate and
survive adverse conditions. As we learn more about the signalling pathways leading to these …

Calcium signalling in Arabidopsis thaliana responding to drought and salinity

H Knight, AJ Trewavas, MR Knight - The Plant Journal, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
Changes in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] cyt ) in response to mannitol (drought)
and salt treatments were detected in vivo in intact whole Arabidopsis seedlings. …

Cold calcium signaling in Arabidopsis involves two cellular pools and a change in calcium signature after acclimation.

H Knight, AJ Trewavas, MR Knight - The Plant Cell, 1996 - academic.oup.com
Cold shock elicits an immediate rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ]cyt) in
both chilling-resistant Arabidopsis and chilling-sensitive tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia). …

OXI1 kinase is necessary for oxidative burst-mediated signalling in Arabidopsis

…, H Knight, SC Peck, CS Grierson, H Hirt, MR Knight - Nature, 2004 - nature.com

function as signalling molecules in eukaryotes, leading to specific downstream responses 1 , …

The vacuolar Ca2+-activated channel TPC1 regulates germination and stomatal movement

E Peiter, FJM Maathuis, LN Mills, H Knight, J Pelloux… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Cytosolic free calcium ([Ca 2+ ] cyt ) is a ubiquitous signalling component in plant cells 1 .
Numerous stimuli trigger sustained or transient elevations of [Ca 2+ ] cyt that evoke …

Calcium signaling during abiotic stress in plants

H Knight - International review of cytology, 1999 - Elsevier
Plants experience a wide array of environmental stimuli, not all of which are favorable, and,
unlike animals, are unable to move away from stressful environments. They therefore require …

Low‐temperature perception leading to gene expression and cold tolerance in higher plants

MR Knight, H Knight - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Plant species exhibit a range of tolerances to low temperatures, and these constitute a
major determinant of their geographical distribution and use as crops. When tolerance is …
