Phosphorylation-mediated signaling during heat and drought stress in plants Ghent University
My results revealed a signaling axis that is involved in resolving the conflict during combined drought and stress. This axis consists of the high temperature-associated kinase MAP4K4, which controls the activity of a proton pump to regulate stomatal opening under high temperature. In turn MAP4K4 activity is regulated by the OST1 kinase under drought stress.
