An Arabidopsis gene encoding a Ca2+-binding protein is induced by abscisic acid during dehydration

Plant Cell Physiol. 2000 Jul;41(7):898-903. doi: 10.1093/pcp/pcd010.

Abstract

An Arabidopsis thaliana RD20 cDNA, which was isolated as one of drought-inducible genes, encodes a putative protein with a conserved EF-hand Ca2+-binding domain. The recombinant RD20 protein was shown to bind Ca2+. The transcription of RD20 gene was induced not only by drought but also by ABA and high salinity.
