Ca2+ imaging and gene expression profiling of Lonicera Confusa in response to calcium-rich environment

Abstract As a medicinal plant widely planted in southwest karst of China, the study of adaptation mechanisms of Lonicera confusa, especially to karst calcium-rich environment, can provide important theoretical basis for repairing desertification by genetic engineering. In this study, the Ca2+ imagin...
