Older technologies (e.g. aequorin) enabled detection of cytosolic Ca²⁺signatures triggered by different stimuli at low spatial resolutions. Recent developments in microscopy techniques coupled with the use of plants expressing genetically encoded fluorescent Ca²⁺ sensors are now revealing a hidden world where Ca²⁺ increases not only occur in individual, stimulated cells but propagates as waves within the plant body. The use of specific targeting sequences or tissue-specific promoters for sensor expression, is also enabling investigation into Ca²⁺dynamics in different subcellular compartments and in different tissues.

In the webinar, the technical aspects of the imaging tools needed to perform Ca²⁺ imaging in plants will be presented.
