Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Resting guard-cell cytosolic calcium was 0.19 +/- 0.09 microM.
- Intervention effect ABA exposure caused transient repetitive increases in cytosolic free calcium in responsive guard cells.
- Association Calcium transients coincided with increases in inward ion current.
- Intervention effect Membrane depolarization terminated inward ion currents.
- Mechanism The authors infer ABA calcium transients arise from passive extracellular calcium influx through permeable channels.
- Observation ABA activated currents reversed at depolarizations above -10 mV.
- Observation ABA-induced currents were not highly calcium selective and permitted calcium and potassium permeation.
- Mechanism ABA activated calcium permeable channels in the guard-cell plasma membrane.
- Mechanism The authors infer calcium elevations can modulate responses that promote stomatal closure.
