Analysis of abiotic and biotic stress-induced Ca²⁺ transients in the crop species Solanum tuberosum.

ABSTRACT: Secondary messengers, such as calcium ions (Ca²⁺), are integral parts of a system that transduces environmental stimuli into appropriate cellular responses. Different abiotic and biotic stresses as well as developmental processes trigger temporal increases in cytosolic free Ca²⁺ levels by an influx from external and internal stores. Stimulus-specificity is obtained by a certain amplitude, duration, oscillation and localisation of the response. Most knowledge on stress-specific Ca²⁺ transient, called calcium signatures, has been gained in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, while reports about stress-related Ca²⁺ signalling in crop plants are comparatively scarce. In this study, we introduced the Ca²⁺ biosensor apoaequorin into potato
