Integration of long-range signals in plants: A model for wound-induced Ca2+, electrical, ROS, and glutamate waves - Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 69, p.102270, 2022 .

Plants show long-range cytosolic Ca2+ signal transduction in response to wounding. Recent advances in in vivo imaging techniques have helped visualize spatiotemporal dynamics of the systemic Ca2+ signals and provided new insights into underlying molecular mechanisms, in which ion channels of the GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR)family are critical for the sensory system. These, along with MECHANOSENSITIVE CHANNEL OF SMALL CONDUCTANCE-LIKE 10 (MSL10)and Arabidopsis H+-ATPase (AHA1)regulate the propagation system. In addition, membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and glutamate waves operate in parallel to long-range signal transduction. We summarize these findings and introduce a model that integrates long-range Ca2+, electrical, ROS, and glutamate signals in systemic wound responses.
