Article Abstract
Cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) elevation activates plasma membrane anion channels in guard cells, which is required for stomatal closure. However, involvement of the anion channels in the [Ca2+]cyt elevation remains unclear. We investigated the involvement using Arabidopsis thaliana anion channel mutants, slac1-4 slah3-3 and slac1-4 almt12-1. Extracellular calcium induced stomatal closure in the wild-type plants but not in the anion channel mutant plants whereas extracellular calcium induced [Ca2+]cyt elevation both in the wild-type guard cells and in the mutant guard cells. The peak height and the number of the [Ca2+]cyt spike were lower and larger in the slac1-4 slah3-3 than in the wild type and the height and the number in the slac1-4 almt12-1 were much lower and much larger than in the wild type. These results suggest that the anion channels are involved in the regulation of [Ca2+]cyt elevation in guard cells.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development; however, both its deficiency and excess can be harmful. Although the effects of excess P are still poorly understood, research has shown that plants exposed to excessive levels of P exhibit reductions in stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different P concentrations on stomatal responses, photochemical parameters, growth, and development of three Solanum lycopersicum genotypes: wild type, Never ripe (lower sensitivity to ethylene), and Notabilis (deficient in ABA production).

The decoding of calcium signals by plant calcium-dependent kinases (CPKs) is not fully understood yet. Based on kinetic in vitro measurements of the activity of several CPK proteins, their individual activity profile was modeled and coupled to cytosolic calcium concentration changes from in vivo measurements of guard cells and epidermal leaf cells. In addition, computationally produced surrogate data were used.

Hyperosmolality-triggered physiological drought hinders plant growth and development, leading to a drop in crop yields. Hyperosmolality triggers calcium signaling, and yet how osmotic-induced calcium signaling participates in cellular osmotic response remains enigmatic. To date, several Ca channels and transporters have been identified to regulate osmotic-induced calcium signal generation (CaSG) or Ca homeostasis.

Cadmium (Cd) stress severely hampers plant growth in forest ecosystems. Although magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) are known to reduce Cd toxicity in numerous plant species, their detoxification mechanisms in Moso bamboo () remain unexplored. The present study investigates how MgONPs mitigate the Cd-induced phytotoxic effects in by examining morpho-physiological and cellular oxidative repair mechanisms.

A leaf is an organ composed of different tissues that fulfill specific functions. We hypothesized that since cells in vascular or mesophyll tissues as well as in stoma are developmentally tuned to operate their functions, mitochondria from these cells could exhibit significant metabolic differences. Using the IMTACT method, mitochondria were isolated from these three specific cell types, and the subsequent proteomes were analyzed.
