Cover Story: Extracellular self DNA (esDNA) is produced during cell and tissue damage or degradation and has been shown to induce significant responses in several organisms, including plants. Electrophysiology and confocal laser scanning microscopy calcium localization show plasma membrane potential (Vm) variations and the intracellular calcium fluxes, in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and maize (Zea mays) plants exposed to esDNA. Heterologous DNA (etDNA) is unable to exert any of these early signaling events.View this paper.
