Criteria for membrane receptors are outlined and the general characteristics of receptors for fusicoccin (FC), a toxin produced by Fusicoccum [Phomopsis] amygdali, listed. The possible mode of action of FC at the plant plasma membrane and the steps leading to activation of the membrane-bound H+-ATPase (transduction signalling) are considered. The physiological role of the FC receptors is also discussed.
