Ca2+ mediates transcription factor PuDof2.5 and suppresses stone cell production in pear fruits

Stone cells are sclerenchyma cells formed by deposition of lignin, which is the most significant factor limiting the quality of pears. Ca2+ was known to inhibit stone cells in pear fruits, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Our study revealed that exogenous CaCl2 (Ca2+) treatmen...
