Cyclic mononucleotides modulate potassium and calcium flux responses to H2O2 in Arabidopsis roots.

Cyclic mononucleotides are messengers in plant stress responses. Here we show that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induces rapid net K(+)-efflux and Ca(2+)-influx in Arabidopsis roots. Pre-treatment with either 10μM cAMP or cGMP for 1 or 24h does significantly reduce net K(+)-leakage and Ca(2+)-influx, and in the case of the K(+)-fluxes, the cell permeant cyclic mononucleotides are more effective. We also examined the effect of 10μM of the cell permeant 8-Br-cGMP on the Arabidopsis microsomal proteome and noted a specific increase in proteins with a role in stress responses and ion transport, suggesting that cGMP is sufficient to directly and/or indirectly induce complex adaptive changes to cellular stresses induced by H2O2.
