- Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) are central to plant responses to biotic and abiotic challenges.
- Ca²⁺ signaling involves channels, transporters, and Ca²⁺-binding proteins that create and decode 'Ca²⁺ codes.'
- Research has explored molecular components, pathways, and networks for Ca²⁺ signal coding and decoding in plants.
- The review highlights mechanisms of calcium signaling in plant growth, reproduction, stress responses, and systemic signaling.
- Plants rely on Ca²⁺ signaling to adapt to environmental changes, especially under climate change.
