The chloroplast as a regulator of Ca 2+ signalling Many of the attributes associated with multicellular plant life, including a sedentary habit, a decentralized organization, signalling in the absence of a nervous system and a plastic developmental programme, can be attributed to the autotrophism facilitated by the chloroplast.In this issue of New Phytologist, identify a new role for the chloroplast in Ca 2+ signalling, which suggests that the plastid can exert control over signalling events in the cytosol.
