Role of Calcium in Plants:- Calcium is an essential plant nutrient. It has many roles:

Participates in metabolic processes of other nutrients uptake.
Promotes proper plant cell elongation.
Strengthen cell wall structure – calcium is an essential part of plant cell wall. It forms calcium pectate compounds which give stability to cell walls and bind cells together.
Participates in enzymatic and hormonal processes.
Helps in protecting the plant against heat stress – calcium improves stomata function and participates in induction of heat shock proteins.
Helps in protecting the plant against diseases – numerous fungi and bacteria secret enzymes which impair plant cell wall. Stronger Cell walls, induced by calcium, can avoid the invasion.
Affects fruit quality.
Has a role in the regulation of the stomata.
