Ca<sup>2+</sup> signals in plant cells are important for adaptive responses to environmental stresses. Here, we report that the <i>Arabidopsis</i> CATION/Ca<sup>2+</sup> EXCHANGER2 (CCX2), encoding a putative cation/Ca<sup>2+</sup> exchanger that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is strongly induced by salt and osmotic stresses. Compared with the WT, <i>AtCCX2</i> loss-of-function mutant was less tolerant to osmotic stress and displayed the most noteworthy phenotypes (less root/shoot ...[more]
