Abstract
BACKGROUND: OSCA (hyperosmolality-gated calcium-permeable channel) is an important class of mechanosensitive calcium channels in plants. OSCAs, which was located on the plasma membrane, function as osmosensors that enable plants to perceive hyperosmotic environments, such as drought and salt stress, and initiate downstream calcium ions signaling. However, a systematic genome-wide identification an…
