Abstract

dependent regulatory mechanism requires OsERS1/2. Collectively, these findings uncover an unexpected ion channel function of ethylene receptors, redefining their molecular identity beyond canonical hormone signaling receptors. Moreover, our work introduces the concept of "hormone receptor-type ion channels (HRICs)" as a new functional category, expanding our understanding of how plant hormones transduce signals at the molecular level.
