Rapid influx of Ca2+ into the cytosol from extracellular pools or intracellular stores via ion
channels can have wide-ranging physiological consequences. In addition, influx of Ca2+ …

Numerous biological assays and pharmacological studies on various higher plant tissues
have led to the suggestion that voltage‐dependent plasma membrane Ca2+ channels play …

Calcium is an essential and major plant nutrient. It is required for structural, osmotic and
signalling purposes. In this review the pathway and molecular mechanisms are described by …

A new mechanism for calcium flux in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root cells has been
characterized. Membrane vesicles were enriched in plasma membrane using aqueous …

Voltage-dependent cation channels in the plasma membrane of rye (Secale cereale L.) root
cells have been studied electrically both in vivo, by patch-clamping protoplasts of epidermal …

Voltage patch-clamp experiments at the whole-vacuole and single-channel levels were
employed to study the retrieval of Ca2+ from vacuoles into the cytoplasm in sugar beet cell …

How do plant cells accomplish a net uptake of Ca 2+ but keep the membrane potential
under control? Consideration of the voltage dependence of the depolarization-activated …

A voltage-independent cation (VIC) channel has been identified in the plasma membrane of
wheat (Triticum aestivum) root cells (PJ White [1999] Trends Plant Sci 4: 245–246). Several …

Ca2+ channels have been suggested to play major roles in the initiation of a large number
of signal transduction processes in higher plant cells, including bud formation, polar growth …

An increasing number of studies indicate that changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+] c)
mediate specific types of signal transduction in plant cells. Modulation of [Ca2+] c is likely to …
