“…28) Some calcium sensor genes regulated by ethylene have been isolated, such as LeCPK1, and LeCPK2 in tomato 13,23) and EICBP in Arabidopsis. 29) Both mechanical wounding and ethephon-stimulation can induce the biosynthesis of endogenous ethylene in H. brasiliensis.…”

“…Calmodulin binding transcription activators (CAMTAs; also referred to as signal-responsive proteins or ethylene-induced CaM binding proteins), were first discovered in plants in a screen for CaM binding proteins (Reddy et al, 2000;Poovaiah, 2000, 2002;Bouché et al, 2002). This family of TFs is highly conserved and possesses multiple domains.…”

“…CAMTAs have also been identified in the genomes of other multicellular organisms, including mammals, flies, and worms (Han et al, 2006;Song et al, 2006). In Arabidopsis, there are six CAMTAs (CAMTA1 to CAMTA6), whose transcript levels are highly responsive (up-or downregulated) to diverse stresses (Reddy et al, 2000;Poovaiah, 2000, 2002). CAMTA transcript levels are induced upon cold and heat treatment (CAMTA1 and CAMTA3-6) as well as salinity (CAMTA1-4 and CAMTA6) (Yang and Poovaiah, 2002).…”

Abiotic and biotic stresses are major limiting factors of crop yields and cause billions of dollars of losses annually around the world. It is hoped that understanding at the molecular level how plants respond to adverse conditions and adapt to a changing environment will help in developing plants that can better cope with stresses. Acquisition of stress tolerance requires orchestration of a multitude of biochemical and physiological changes, and most of these depend on changes in gene expression. Research during the last two decades has established that different stresses cause signal-specific changes in cellular Ca 2+ level, which functions as a messenger in modulating diverse physiological processes that are important for stress adaptation. In recent years, many Ca 2+ and Ca 2+ /calmodulin (CaM) binding transcription factors (TFs) have been identified in plants. Functional analyses of some of these TFs indicate that they play key roles in stress signaling pathways. Here, we review recent progress in this area with emphasis on the roles of Ca 2+ -and Ca 2+ /CaMregulated transcription in stress responses. We will discuss emerging paradigms in the field, highlight the areas that need further investigation, and present some promising novel high-throughput tools to address Ca 2+ -regulated transcriptional networks.
“…The newly identified CBPs include four hypothetical proteins, a protein kinase C substrate-like protein (PKC substrate-like), photosystem I-N subunit (PSI-N subunit), a pirin-like protein, four ACBP60 proteins (homologs of TCBP60), and a new member of auxininduced proteins, cyclic nucleotide-like gated channels (CNGCs) and ethylene-induced CBPs (EICBPs). The previously identified six clones include KCBP (20 -24), one TCBP60-like protein (25), two cyclic nucleotide gated channels (26 -28), an ethylene-induced CBP (29), and a glutamate decarboxylase (9,30,31) (Tables I and II).…”
