Sodium-Calcium Interactions Under Salinity Stress

  • Chapter

Abstract

There are a wide range of responses of plants to salinity which involve interactions of Na with Ca. Plant processes such as growth, photosynthesis, mineral nutrition, water and ion transport are affected by these Na-Ca interactions. Many of these responses can be linked to the direct Na-Ca interactions at the surface of the plasma membrane and subsequent Ca signaling events.
