Precise measurements of dynamic changes in free Ca2+ concentration in the lumen of the plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) have been lacking so far, despite increasing evidence for the contribution of this intracellular compartment to Ca2+ homeostasis and signalling in the plant cell. In the present study, we targeted an aequorin chimera with reduced Ca2+ affinity to the ER membrane and facing the ER lumen. To this aim, the cDNA for a low‐Ca2+‐affinity aequorin variant (AEQmut) was fused to the nucleotide sequence encoding a non‐cleavable N‐terminal ER signal peptide (fl2). The correct targeting of fl2‐AEQmut was confirmed by immunocytochemical analyses in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) seedlings. An experimental protocol well‐established in animal cells – consisting of ER Ca2+ depletion during photoprotein reconstitution followed by ER Ca2+ refilling – was applied to carry out ER Ca2+ measurements in planta. Rapid and transient increases of the ER luminal Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]ER) were recorded in response to different environmental stresses, displaying stimulus‐specific Ca2+ signatures. The comparative analysis of ER and chloroplast Ca2+ dynamics indicates a complex interplay of these organelles in shaping cytosolic Ca2+ signals during signal transduction events. Our data highlight significant differences in basal [Ca2+]ER and Ca2+ handling by plant ER compared to the animal counterpart. The set‐up of an ER‐targeted aequorin chimera extends and complements the currently available toolkit of organelle‐targeted Ca2+ indicators by adding a reporter that improves our quantitative understanding of Ca2+ homeostasis in the plant endomembrane system. A better understanding of Ca2+ homeostasis in the plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires accurate measurements of the free Ca2+ concentration in the lumen of this compartment. We designed a specifically ER‐targeted aequorin chimera that allowed quantitative monitoring of dynamic changes in ER Ca2+ levels in Arabidopsis seedlings in response to environmental cues and we analysed the interplay of ER and chloroplasts in shaping cytosolic Ca2+ signals.
