Calcium (Ca) deficiency symptoms in plants often occur in agriculture; however, little is known about the mechanisms for adaptation to low-Ca conditions. To understand the mechanisms, we screened forArabidopsis thaliana(L.) Heynh mutants sensitive to low Ca. Here, we describe one of the mutants,lcs1-1, isolated from the screen. The relative shoot growth of the mutant was reduced under the low-Ca conditions compared with the wild-type plants. Genetic mapping and genome resequencing revealed thatlcs1-1has one nonsynonymous mutation in the region of the chromosome responsible for the phenotype. The mutation is inPleiotropic Regulatory Locus 1(PRL1). An allelism test betweenlcs1-1and a T-DNA inserted allele ofprl1demonstrates that the causal gene oflcs1-1isPRL1. It has been reported thatPRL1is involved in sugar metabolism; however, the involvement of PRL1 in low-Ca tolerance has not been reported. Our results suggest a new insight connecting sugar metabolism with a mechanism for low-Ca tolerance in plants.
