R. Ranjeva et al., CALCIUM-ENTRY INTO HIGHER-PLANT CELLS - VOLTAGE-OPERATED PLASMA MEMBRANE-BOUND CA2+ CHANNELS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 3, Sciences de la vie, 319(11), 1996, pp. 1063-1070
Plant Ca2+ channels allow calcium to flow into the cytoplasm and are c
onsidered as primary targets of signals using calcium as a second mess
enger. This review describes recent data on the characterization and t
he study of specific properties of plasma membrane-bound voltage-depen
dent Ca2+ channels of higher plant cells.
