GEYDAN, TD  and  SPINEL, CLARA. The Calcium Wave of Vegetable Cells. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2007, vol.12, suppl.1, pp.115-120. ISSN 0120-548X.

Calcium is an essential nutrient for plants; it is involved in developmental processes and in responses to biotic and abiotic factors. Several signals that modify the calcium concentration in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and/or plastids have been observed. These changes in the calcium concentration in the cell interior are rapidly returned to basal levels, in the meantime, innumerable and complex signaling cascades. This note exposes the mechanisms of calcium transport through the cell membranes of the entrance of calcium in the plant cells.

Keywords : Calcium; cellular signaling; sensor proteins; membrane.
