“…Consequently, Ca is thought to accumulate primarily in cells along this path, such as SM, due to their greater apoplastic [Ca] ([Ca 2+ ] apo ; Gilliham et al, ; Karley, Leigh, & Sanders, ). The accumulation of Ca within SM (in G. avellana and R. montana ) supports this model, as these areas are close to the xylem and typically show greater [Ca 2+ ] apo (Gilliham et al, ; Kerton, Newbury, Hand, & Pritchard, ; White, ). However, for cells to accumulate Ca within their vacuole, they must also express both Ca 2+ ‐permeable ion channels, allowing Ca 2+ to move down an electrochemical potential gradient into the cytosol, and tonoplast‐localized transporters, allowing Ca 2+ uptake against an electrochemical potential gradient (Ca 2+ ‐transporting P‐type‐ATPases and Ca 2+ /H + antiporters), into the vacuole, where it can accumulate to high concentrations (>1,400 μmol g −1 ; Conn et al, ; Mäser et al, ; McAinsh & Pittman, ; Shigaki & Hirschi, ).…”
