The generation of specificity in Ca2+ signals is dependent on influx and efflux from the extracellular milieu, cytosol and intracellular organelles. One aspect of plant Ca2+ signalling that is currently attracting a great deal of interest is how ‘Ca2+-signatures’, specific spatio-temporal changes in cytosolic-free Ca2+, encode the necessary information to bring about this range of physiological responses. Here, current information is reviewed on how Ca2+-signatures are generated in plant cells and how stimulus-specific information can be encoded in the form of Ca2+-signatures.
