This study shows that β-cyclocitral triggers rapid cellular responses in Arabidopsis, distinct from the delayed transcriptional changes associated with excess light stress.

This study identifies ACA2 as an ER-localized Ca2+ ATPase essential for regulating cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels and root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study shows H2S and DES1 are critical for flg22-induced stomatal closure and ROS production in plant immunity.

This study identifies CCX4 as a regulator of root hair development by modulating cytoplasmic Ca2+ dynamics in Arabidopsis.

This study identifies CNGC13 as a Ca2+ channel essential for systemic wound signalling and defense against Spodoptera herbivory in Arabidopsis, showing its role in Ca2+ wave propagation and jasmonate-dependent immunity.

The paper investigates the Ca2+ response in Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts triggered by high light exposure mimicked by glass beads, revealing a biphasic increase and identifying the endoplasmic reticulum as the source.

This study investigates compartment-specific Ca2+ dynamics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under abiotic stress, revealing distinct responses in chloroplasts and cytosol.
