A Phaseolus vulgaris EF-hand calcium-binding domain is induced early in the defense response against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and by abiotic stress: Sequences shared between interacting partners

A comparative transcriptomic analysis of the extremely boron tolerant plant Puccinellia distans with the moderately boron tolerant Gypsophila arrostil

“…A calcium uptake protein 1 (calcium-binding EF hand family protein) was identified in the P. distans high B-responsive SSH library. This protein has been implicated in the signaling of various types of abiotic stress in plants ( Alvarado-Gutiérrez et al 2008). Other genes represented in the P. distans library include kinases (5 ESTs), 3 zinc finger protein ESTs and a protein phosphatase, which are components of signal transduction systems (Supplementary Table 2).…”

High throughput deep sequencing reveals the important roles of microRNAs during sweetpotato storage at chilling temperature

“…Next step, we will examined the expression of ABA-responsive genes, such as RESPONSIVE TO DESSICATION 29 A (RD29A) , and core components of ABA signaling pathway, such as ABI1, ABI2 and HAB1 to see how these miRNAs regulate sweetpotato response to chilling stress. Additionally, miR166d also plays a regulatory role in low temperature storage of sweetpotato by targeting EF-hand protein TaCab that is a calcium binding protein accumulating after cold treatment 38 .…”

Abiotic and Biotic Stress Response Crosstalk in Plants

“…For the EFhand calcium-binding protein gene, the transcript levels in light in the control treated (H 2 O sprinkled) leaves surpass those in the pathogen-treated leaves (Fig. 3) (Alvarado-Gutiérrez et al, 2008). Thus, these two genes, which are co-induced by two or more types of biotic and abiotic stresses, are also differentially regulated by the daily photoperiod advance and possibly by the circadian rhythm.…”
