May 2025 in “Texas Digital Library (University of Texas)” This study investigates the roles of extracellular ATP (eATP) and adenosine in Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on root hair elongation and stomatal aperture. eATP, released during stress, triggers a rise in cytoplasmic calcium, activating downstream responses. Two lectin receptor kinases, P2K1 and P2K2, are identified as eATP receptors. Experiments suggest that annexin 3 (ANN3) may mediate calcium-dependent growth responses to eATP. Additionally, pharmacological studies indicate that adenosine inhibits root hair growth and stomatal opening, suggesting an adenosine-like receptor pathway in plants. These findings propose that adenosine antagonizes eATP signaling, similar to animal purinergic signaling, and suggest a potential evolutionary parallel in extracellular nucleotide sensing, with implications for discovering a GPCR signaling pathway in plants.
