| Abstract | Considerable progresses have taken place both in the methodology available to study changes in intracellular cytosolic calcium and in our understanding of calcium signaling cascades. It is generally accepted that the global calcium signal system functions importantly in coping with plant abiotic stresses, especially drought stress, which has been proved further by the recent transgenic and molecular breeding reports under soil water deficits. In plant cells, calcium plays roles as a universal transducer coupling a wide range of extracellular stimuli with intracellular responses. Different extracellular stimuli trigger specific calcium signatures: dynamics, amplitude and duration of calcium transients specify the nature, implication and intensity of stimuli. Calcium-binding proteins (sensors) play a critical role in decoding calcium signatures and transducing signals by activating specific targets and corresponding metabolic pathways. Calmodulin (CAM) is a calcium sensor known to regulate the activity of many mammalian proteins, whose targets in plants are now being identified. Higher plants possess a rapidly growing list of CAM targets with a variety of cellular functions. Nevertheless, many targets appear to be unique to higher plant cells and remain characterized, calling for a concerted effort from plant and animal scientists to elucidate their functions. To date, three major classes of plant calcium signals encoding elements in the calcium signal system, including calcium-permeable ion channels,Ca(2)+/ H(+) antiporters and Ca(2)+-ATPases, are responsible for drought stress signal transduction directly or indirectly. This review summarizes the current knowledge of calcium signals involved in plant abiotic stresses and presents suggestions for future focus areas of study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
