The Role of Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channels in Cation Nutrition and Abiotic Stress

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ion Channels and Plant Stress Responses

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM))

Abstract

The plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are a large family of ion channels that are regulated by both cyclic nucleotides (CNs) and calmodulin (CaM). CNGCs are generally permeable to a wide range of cations, including the essential macronutrients K+ and Ca2+, as well as potentially toxic cations such as Na+ or Pb2+. Several members of the CNGC family have been implicated in the uptake of cations and/or their subsequent distribution across plant organs. Others may participate in plant responses to salinity and abiotic stress by mediating Ca2+ signaling. Some CNGCs localize to the plasma membrane (PM) whereas others localize to intracellular membranes such as the tonoplast, and may therefore regulate the sequestration and release of cations among intracellular stores. It thus appears that plants have adapted certain CNGCs for specialized roles in maintaining cellular cation homeostasis.
