Crops that exhibit symptoms of calcium (Ca) deficiency constitute a major agricultural problem. Molecular breeding of resistant cultivars is a promising method for overcoming this problem. However, the involved genes must first be identified. Here, we show that theglucan synthase-like(GSL)1gene is essential for low-Ca tolerance inArabidopsis thaliana. GSL1is homologous toGSL10, which we previously showed was essential for low-Ca tolerance. Under low-Ca conditions,gsl1mutants exhibit reduced growth and the onset of necrosis in new leaves. These symptoms are typical of Ca-deficient crops. A grafting experiment suggested that the shoot genotype, but not the root genotype, was important for the suppression of shoot necrosis. The ectopic accumulation of callose under low-Ca conditions was significantly reduced ingsl1mutants compared with wild-type plants. Because the corresponding single-mutant phenotypes are similar, we investigated the interaction betweenGSL1andGSL10by testing thegsl1 gsl10double mutant for sensitivity to low-Ca conditions. The double mutant exhibited a more severe phenotype than did the single mutants, indicating that the effects ofGSL1andGSL10on low-Ca tolerance are additive. BecauseGSLgenes are highly conserved within the plant kingdom, theGSLloci may be useful for breeding low-Ca tolerant crops.
