Calcium (Ca2+) is a well-known second messenger in both unicellular and multicellular organisms (Berridge et al., 2000; Carafoli and Krebs, 2016). In plants, apart from its role as a structural component (White and Broadley, 2003), calcium plays a role in signaling events in response to a multitude of developmental and environmental stimuli (Kudla et al., 2010; Edel et al., 2017; Kudla et al., 2018). Biotic and abiotic challenges affect the cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by triggering transient changes of Ca2+ concentrations in the cytosol as well as in subcellular compartments (McAinsh and Pittman, 2009; Stael et al., 2012; Costa et al., 2018; Pirayesh et al., 2021; Resentini et al., 2021b).

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a well-known second messenger in both unicellular and multicellular organisms (Berridge et al., 2000; Carafoli and Krebs, 2016). In plants, apart from its role as a structural component (White and Broadley, 2003), calcium plays a role in signaling events in response to a multitude of developmental and environmental stimuli (Kudla et al., 2010; Edel et al., 2017; Kudla et al., 2018). Biotic and abiotic challenges affect the cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by triggering transient changes of Ca2+ concentrations in the cytosol as well as in subcellular compartments (McAinsh and Pittman, 2009; Stael et al., 2012; Costa et al., 2018; Pirayesh et al., 2021; Resentini et al., 2021b).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
