Abstract
Abstract The role of Ca as an intracellular messenger is beginning to be unraveled as a result of recent research on calmodulin, a ubiquitous protein that binds Ca ions and regulates various biochemical processes in plants. Experimental evidence suggests that certain cell functions in plants are regulated, in part, by Ca and calmodulin. Changes in cell wall rigidity, membrane permeability, and enzyme activation are known to influence various aspects of cell physiology and have a significant influence on the growth and development of plants. Deficiency of Ca is known to induce physiological disorders in fruit and vegetables. We hope that this article will stimulate further studies and provide new insights into how these problems may be controlled. The role of Ca ions in signal transduction and cell function is beginning to be understood at the molecular level, and we have embarked on a new phase of the old subject of mineral nutrition, especially as it applies to Ca and plant growth and development.
