Calcium oscillations in higher plants

Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2001 Oct;4(5):415-20. doi: 10.1016/s1369-5266(00)00194-1.

Abstract

There is considerable interest in the possibility that stimulus-induced oscillations in cytosolic free calcium encode information that is used to specify the outcome of the final response in calcium-based signalling pathways in plants. Recent results provide conclusive evidence that plant cells can decipher complex calcium signatures.
