Calcium-sensing receptor (CAS) regulates transpiration and optimizes photosynthesis by playing important roles in stomatal movement and formation of photosynthetic electron transport, thereby regulating WUE and drought tolerance.
Title: Regulation of the calcium-sensing receptor in both stomatal movement and photosynthetic electron transport is crucial for water use efficiency and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.

A mutation in CAU1 significantly increased the expression level of the calcium signaling gene CAS, and functional disruption of CAS abolished the enhanced drought tolerance and stomatal [Ca(2+)]o signaling in cau1.
Title: Arabidopsis histone methylase CAU1/PRMT5/SKB1 acts as an epigenetic suppressor of the calcium signaling gene CAS to mediate stomatal closure in response to extracellular calcium.

Arabidopsis lines revealed a significant role for calcium-sensing receptor (CaS) in plant growth and development. [calcium-sensing receptor] [CaS]
Title: Light regulation of CaS, a novel phosphoprotein in the thylakoid membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana.

CAS is a chloroplast-localized protein that is crucial for proper stomatal regulation in response to elevations of external Ca(2+).
Title: A plastid protein crucial for Ca2+-regulated stomatal responses.

results show [Ca2+]i oscillations are synchronized to extracellular Ca2+ concentration oscillations largely through Ca2+-sensing receptor CAS; CAS regulates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentration which directs release of Ca2+ from internal stores
Title: Coupling diurnal cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations to the CAS-IP3 pathway in Arabidopsis.
