Calcium is an essential element needed for growth and development of plants under both
non-stressed and stress conditions. It thereby fulfills a dual function, being not only an …

Ca2+ signals are core transducers and regulators in many adaptation and developmental
processes of plants. Ca2+ signals are represented by stimulus-specific signatures that result …

Calcium is an essential plant nutrient. It is required for various structural roles in the cell wall
and membranes, it is a counter‐cation for inorganic and organic anions in the vacuole, and …

Cell expansion is a central process in plant morphogenesis, and the elongation of roots and
root hairs is essential for uptake of minerals and water from the soil. Ca2+ influx from the …

Highlights•Coordinated calcium transport processes produce Ca 2+ signatures in plant
cells.•Magnesium transporters acquire and distribute Mg 2+ throughout the plant.•CBL-CIPK …

Providing a fast growing world population with sufficient food while preserving ecological
and energy resources of our planet is one of the biggest challenges in this century …

Nonselective cation channels (NSCCs) catalyse passive fluxes of cations through plant
membranes. NSCCs do not, or only to a small extent, select between monovalent cations …

Free oxygen radicals are an irrefutable component of life, underlying important biochemical
and physiological phenomena in animals. Here it is shown that free oxygen radicals activate …

The Nutrient Use Efficiency in intensive agriculture is lower than 50% for macronutrients.
This feature results in unsustainable financial and environmental costs. Nanofertilizers are a …

Calcium functions as a versatile messenger in mediating responses to hormones,
biotic/abiotic stress signals and a variety of developmental cues in plants. The Ca2+ …
