Abstract
The role of calcium channels in intracellular signalling in plants will be characterised through a combined molecular biological/electrophysiological approach to ligand- and voltage-gated calcium channels at the vacuolar and plasma membranes. One calcium-mobilising ligand, cyclic ADP-ribose, will be investigated with respect to its metabolism and putative role in intracellular signalling in the storage root of beet. Potassium homeostasis in roots of Arabidopsis will be studied with respect to carrier- and channel-mediated uptake by applying electrophysiological techniques to wild type plants and potassium transport and homeostasis mutants.
