Ca²⁺ influxes and transmembrane transport are essential for phytic acid degradation in mung bean sprouts

Abstract

CaCl enhanced Ca influxes and accumulation in cells, which contributed to the regulation of phytic acid degradation. This study demonstrates that calcium channels play an essential role in mediating phytic acid degradation in mung bean sprouts, and both extracellular and intracellular Ca -regulation were involved in phytic acid degradation. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Role of Ca2+ in phenolic compound metabolism of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) sprouts under NaCl stress

“…). It is well known that La 3+ inhibits influx of extracellular Ca 2+ into cells across plasma membrane by competing with Ca 2+ due to their radii . Maruyama et al identified 2‐APB as an IP 3 receptor inhibitor.…”

“…It is well known that La 3+ inhibits influx of extracellular Ca 2+ into cells across plasma membrane by competing with Ca 2+ due to their radii. 17 Maruyama et al 25 identified 2-APB as an IP 3 receptor inhibitor. Bootman et al 26 and Braun et al 27 found that it was an inhibitor of store-operated Ca 2+ channels (SOC) and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels because it could affect intracellular Ca 2+ signals with complex mechanisms and multiple acting targets.…”

“…The CaM content was measured by Zhou et al with some modifications by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The assay kit (MEB21030) was purchased from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Jiangsu, China.…”

“…The calcium channel blockers can change intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, transmembrane transport and distribution in different compartments. 17 This process affects a series of physiological activities, such as plant growth and development, disease resistance and adversity adaptation. 14 Phenolics, as an important secondary metabolite related to stress resistance, are naturally involved in these processes.…”
