Ca(2+) is a key player in plant cell responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Owing to the central role of cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]cyt) during early signaling and the need for precise determination of [Ca(2+)]cyt variations, we used a Cameleon YC 3.6 reporter protein expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana to quantify [Ca(2+)]cyt variations upon leaf mechanical damage (MD), herbivory by 3rd and 5th instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis and S. littoralis oral secretions (OS) applied to MD. YC 3.6 allowed a clear distinction between MD and herbivory and discriminated between the two larvae instars. To our knowledge this is the first report of quantitative [Ca(2+)]cyt determination upon herbivory using a Cameleon calcium sensor.

Abstract
Ca(2+) is a key player in plant cell responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Owing to the central role of cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]cyt) during early signaling and the need for precise determination of [Ca(2+)]cyt variations, we used a Cameleon YC 3.6 reporter protein expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana to quantify [Ca(2+)]cyt variations upon leaf mechanical damage (MD), herbivory by 3rd and 5th instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis and S. littoralis oral secretions (OS) applied to MD. YC 3.6 allowed a clear distinction between MD and herbivory and discriminated between the two larvae instars. To our knowledge this is the first report of quantitative [Ca(2+)]cyt determination upon herbivory using a Cameleon calcium sensor.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
