Calcium Involvement in Plant Hormone Action

  • Chapter
Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Calcium in Plant Development

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIAS,volume 104))

Abstract

Many hormones and extracellular stimuli in animal systems regulate cell function by inducing an increase in calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. The evidence that plant hormones also work through calcium as a second messenger is reviewed in this paper. Modulation of hormone responses by added calcium, by inhibitors of calcium transport or by calcium ionophores indicates calcium involvement and there are many instances of this phenomenon in plants. Hormone effects on intracellular calcium levels have not been so widely studied, but some effects on calcium transport have been reported. The current model of how the calcium messenger system works is examined with particular reference as to where the gaps are in applying this model to transmembrane signalling in plants.
