Abstract: The calcium signal transduction pathway plays a pivotal role in the response to the stress of low temperatures. In order to verify the relationship between calcium signal transduction pathway and cold resistance of tea plant, the changes of some cold resistance related index were measured under artificial low temperature stress in climatron accompanied with using exogenous CaCl2, CaM inhibitor W-7 [N-(6-Aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene-sulfonamide] and calcium signal channel inhibitor LaCl3, respectively. Calcium signaling transduction pathway inhibitors W-7 and LaCl3 improved electrolyte leakage, enhanced contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and proline, reduced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) compared with control treatment, however, CaCl2 treatment showed opposite effects. It showed that calcium signaling system play an important role in the response to low temperature stress in tea plant.

Key words: tea plant (Camellia sinensis), cold resistance, inhibitors of calcium signaling transduction pathway, Ca2+
