Root hairs create an enormous surface area to aid plants in nutrient and water acquisition, anchorage in the soil, and microbe interactions. Root hairs develop in two stages, including initiation and tip growth. Initiation occurs when a portion of genetically determined epidermal cells develop wall loosening and form a disc-shaped area of cell swelling. Tip growth happens after initiation when the root-hair ‘‘bud’’elongates in a polarized fashion to eventually reach a tubular outgrowth with an apical dome (Grierson et al., 2014).Polarized growth has been studied in several model systems, including the pollen tube and root-hair cells in plants, hyphae elongation in fungi, and axon extension in animal nerve systems. Calcium gradients and oscillations play a key role in controlling the direction and growth rate of these cell models. In all cases, however, the mechanism of calcium signaling has not been fully understood. In animal systems, some calcium channels have been identified that could mediate calcium fluxes (Akiyama and Kamiguchi, 2015). However, little is known about the Ca2+ transporters that mediate Ca2+ fluxes in plant cells. Recent studies have identified CNGC-type channels as essential for pollen tube growth and fertility (Frietsch et al., 2007; Gao et al., 2016). Although a causal relationship between CNGCs and a calcium gradient in pollen tubes has yet to be established, these studies suggest that CNGCs may be a major group of channels involved in Ca2+ fluxes in plant cells.
