    Heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) and G-protein-coupled receptors are important signaling components in eukaryotes. In plants, the G-proteins are involved in diverse physiological processes, some of which are exerted via changes in the level of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca
