Abstract
It is generally accepted that the conversion of a stimulus into biological/biochemical responses involves a multistep process that includes the variation in the amounts of second messenger(s) and the transduction of the chemical message through sensing molecules (Cohen, 1982). Such a scheme, inferred from animal cell physiology has been shown to be essentially valid for plants. Thus, several lines of evidence have established that calcium controls different biochemical/biological processes which are being discussed during this workshop; especially calcium is implicitly recognized as the main second messenger in plants.
