Comparative analysis of stress-induced calcium signals in the crop species barley and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plants are continuously exposed to changing environmental conditions and biotic attacks that affect plant growth. In crops, the inability to respond appropriately to stress has strong detrimental effects on agricultural production and yield. Ca²⁺ signalling plays a fundamental role in the response of plants to most abiotic and biotic stresses. However, research on stimulus-specific Ca²⁺ signals has mostly been pursued in Arabidopsis thaliana, while in other species these events are little investigated .

Results

In this study, we introduced the Ca²⁺ reporter-encoding gene APOAEQUORIN into the crop species barley (Hordeum vulgare). Measurements of the dynamic changes in [Ca²⁺]_cyt in response to various stimuli s
