Abstract

Today no one questions the assertion that Ca2+ is a crucial regulator of growth and development in plants. The myriad processes in which this ion participates is large and growing and involves nearly all aspects of plant development (recent reviews in [Harper et al., 2004][1]; [Hetherington and
