When cells of Nitella flexilis are subjected to transcellular osmosis or osmotic swelling, cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) increases. Ca2+ is thought to be released from internal stores due to hydration of the cytoplasm. In the present study we demonstrated that the hydration-induced Ca2+ release (HICR) can occur in isolated cytoplasm whether or not it contains chloroplasts.
