A variety of stimuli, such as abscisic acid (ABA), reactive
oxygen species (ROS), and elicitors of plant defense reactions, have
been shown to induce stomatal closure. Our study addresses commonalities in the signaling pathways that these stimuli trigger. A
recent report showed that both ABA and ROS stimulate an
NADPH-dependent, hyperpolarization-activated Ca2+ influx
current in Arabidopsis guard cells termed "ICa" (Z.M. Pei, Y. Murata, G. Benning, S. Thomine, B. Klüsener, G.J. Allen, E. Grill, J.I. Schroeder, Nature [2002] 406: 731-734). We found that
yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) elicitor and chitosan,
both elicitors of plant defense responses, also activate this current and activation requires cytosolic NAD(P)H. These elicitors also induced
elevations in the concentration of free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) and stomatal closure in guard
cells. ABA and ROS elicited [Ca2+]cyt
oscillations in guard cells only when extracellular Ca2+
was present. In a 5 mM KCl extracellular buffer, 45% of
guard cells exhibited spontaneous [Ca2+]cyt
oscillations that differed in their kinetic properties from ABA-induced
Ca2+ increases. These spontaneous
[Ca2+]cyt oscillations also required the
availability of extracellular Ca2+ and depended on the
extracellular potassium concentration. Interestingly, when ABA was
applied to spontaneously oscillating cells, ABA caused cessation of
[Ca2+]cyt elevations in 62 of 101 cells,
revealing a new mode of ABA signaling. These data show that fungal
elicitors activate a shared branch with ABA in the stress signal
transduction pathway in guard cells that activates plasma membrane
ICa channels and support a requirement for
extracellular Ca2+ for elicitor and ABA signaling, as well
as for cellular [Ca2+]cyt oscillation maintenance.
