Abstract
Plant calmodulins (CaMs) and calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs) mediate Ca 2+ signaling in response to abiotic stresses. Manipulation of this signaling in crops could increase stress tolerance. We review methods for detecting Ca 2+ signals, regulatory roles of CaMs and CMLs, binding targets, and Ca 2+ networks under abiotic stress in organelles.
