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 …

Heat stress (HS) is expected to be of increasing worldwide concern in the near future,
especially with regard to crop yield and quality as a consequence of rising or varying …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

All living cells use a network of signal transduction pathways to conduct developmental
programs, obtain nutrients, control their metabolism, and cope with their environment. A …

Many extracellular signals, including light, biotic, and abiotic stress factors, elicit changes in
cellular Ca2+ concentration in plants (Trewavas and Knight, 1994; Bush, 1995; Braam et al …

▪ Abstract Pollen tubes and root hairs are highly elongated, cylindrically shaped cells whose
polarized growth permits them to explore the environment for the benefit of the entire plant …

Polyamines (PAs) are nitrogenous molecules which play a well-established role in most
cellular processes during growth and development under physiological or biotic/abiotic …

Pollen tubes grow rapidly by very fast rates and reach extended lengths to bring about
fertilization during plant reproduction. The pollen tube grows exclusively at its tip …

Calcium signalling involves sensor proteins that decode temporal and spatial changes in
cellular Ca2+ concentration. Calcineurin B‐like proteins (CBLs) represent a unique family of …

Oscillations in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+] cyt) are central regulators of signal
transduction cascades, although the roles of individual [Ca2+] cyt oscillation parameters in …
