Molecular cloning and characterization of calmodulin genes in young oak seedlings (Quercus petraea L.) during early flooding stress

Biochim Biophys Acta. 2005 Mar 10;1727(3):213-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bbaexp.2004.12.009. Epub 2005 Jan 25.

Abstract

As part of an integrated study on the molecular response of woody plants to flooding, three CaM genes were isolated from oak seedlings (Quercus petraea Liebl.) and characterized. QpCaM-1 was almost exclusively expressed in roots, whereas QpCaM-2 and -3 were more evenly distributed throughout the plant. The present paper documents the differential expression of these genes during hypoxia.
