What the tool is doing

This review topic centers on Ca2+ as an early second messenger in plant responses to biotic stimuli, including signal generation, propagation, and decoding.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

It helps explain how diverse biotic cues can be converted into biological responses through calcium-dependent signaling logic.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What it does not solve

The abstract does not define a single discrete tool or a specific implementation protocol for measuring or manipulating these signals.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Alternatives

The abstract contrasts broad monitoring of Ca2+ signals with downstream decoding by CaM, CMLs, CDPKs, and CBLs rather than naming alternative signaling frameworks.

Evidence Snippets

Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger involved in various cellular processes... Here, we focus on recent progress made in monitoring the generation of Ca2+ signals at the whole plant or cell level and their long distance propagation during biotic interactions.

Claim 1biological role summarysupports2018Source 1DOI PubMed

In plants, intracellular free Ca2+ variation is among the earliest events after perception of environmental change.

Claim 2mechanistic summarysupports2018Source 1DOI PubMed

Conversion of Ca2+ signals into biological responses requires Ca2+ sensors for decoding and relaying.

Claim 3mechanistic summarysupports2018Source 1DOI PubMed

Plant Ca2+ variations differ in spatio-temporal properties according to the nature, strength, and duration of the stimulus.

Claim 4review scope summarysupports2018Source 1DOI PubMed

The review covers monitoring of Ca2+ signal generation at whole-plant or cell level and long-distance propagation during biotic interactions.
