Zooming in on light stress
Water droplets focus light on the surface of a leaf leading to an increase in chloroplast Ca2+, probably coming from a store in the ER. @simonstael.bsky.social

Thanks Maddy for highlighting our manuscript! (pun intended)

Please repost if you can!!
Thank you!!!

We found that high light can trigger calcium responses in the chloroplast stroma, cytosol and ER, dependent on photoinhibition, ROS formation, and temperature, revealing an unexpected connection between ER and stromal calcium pools!

What started as a 'funky' observation back in 2017 while visiting the lab of @labcosta.bsky.social, and after skilfull execution of Dominic Kuang, Shanna Romand, and many more, now found a home in Current Biology. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
