TL;DR
High concentrations of NaCl immediately elevated cytoplasmic Ca activity in maize root protoplasts, as measured with the fluorescent probe Indo-1, suggesting that phosphoinositides mediate the stress response.
Abstract
High concentrations of NaCl immediately elevated cytoplasmic Ca activity in maize (Zea Mays L. cv Pioneer 3377) root protoplasts, as measured with the fluorescent probe Indo-1. The effect of salinity was inhibited by Li pretreatment but restored by inositol, suggesting that phosphoinositides mediate the stress response.
