As flower developmentproceeded, the Ca2+amount inthe pistil successively increased and reached the highest levels just after antherdehiscence. When the anthers and ... However, some decrease inthe Ca2+content of the calyx was observed. When the flower was completelyopen (stage 3), the pistil contained a significantly highercontent of Ca2+than the other...
