Calcium: from nutrition to signaling -- Calcium homeostasis, reserves and transport elements in the cell -- The concept of calcium signature and its involvment in other signaling pathways -- Calcium binding proteins : 'decoders of Ca2+ siganture' -- Plant ion channels without molecular identity and two-pore channel 1 -- Plant ligand-gated ion channels 1: GLR -- Plant ligand-gated channels 2: CNGC -- Annexin and mechanosensitive channel -- Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+/cation antiporters -- Tools for analysing Ca2+ transport elements and future perspectives |
| Summary |
This book focuses on the significance and implications of Calcium (Ca2+) transport machinery in the plant cell in generating alternating Ca2+ levels and impacting the cell's physiological, biochemical and developmental processes. In the following sections, the concept of Ca2+ homeostasis, Ca2+ signature, various Ca2+ transport protein families and conductance systems would be discussed in detail- elucidation of their functional characterization, structure, mechanism, sub-cellular localization and specific physiological roles in ensuring Ca2+ homeostasis. Also, the aspect of Ca2+ as a "signaling hub"--Transducing distinct plant responses to diverse environmental stimuli, Ca2+ binding proteins, and the tools used in studying these proteins are explained in brief to paint a holistic picture of Ca2+ transport in plant systems. This has resulted in an elaborative literature account to serve as a staple by providing recent insights and advance knowledge surrounding genetic and molecular dissection of Ca2+homeostasis maintenance mechanisms and extant Ca2+ transport systems in plants |
