The caleosins are encoded by multi-gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. This work investigates the role of two family members, RD20/CLO3 and CLO7, in flowering transition and in root development in response to ABA treatment. Gene expression of the caleosin RD20/CLO3 is induced by ABA in the root tissues and RD20/CLO3 has a negati ...

The investigation of the caleosin CLO7 in relation to heterotrimeric G-protein signalling in Arabidopsis showed that the gene plays a role in seed germination and embryo viability. The caleosin CLO7 belongs to a multi-gene family of calcium-binding proteins which are characterized by single EF-hand motifs. Other members of the caleosin gene family have be ...

Pirins are nuclear bicupin proteins, encoded by genes that are one of several gene families that comprise the Cupin superfamily in plants. Pirin genes have been implicated in stress response pathways studied in Arabidopsis and At-Pirin1 has been shown to interact with the heterotrimeric G-protein alpha subunit (GPA1). The aim of this study was to identify ...

This study characterizes the heterotrimeric G protein gene families in Triticum aestivum, their tissue-specific expression patterns during development and in response to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. There are three Ga genes, three Gß and 12 G? genes, totaling 18 genes encoding heterotrimeric G proteins in the hexaploid wheat genome. Each haploid ...

A stress induced calcium-binding protein, RD20/CLO3 interacts with the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex in Arabidopsis and affects etiolation and leaf morphology. Heterotrimeric G proteins and calcium signaling have both been shown to play a role in the response to environmen ...

Peptide signaling has emerged as a key component of plant growth and development, including stomatal patterning, which is critical for plant productivity and survival. Although exciting progress has been made in understanding EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR (EPF) signaling in Arabidopsis, the mechanisms by which EPF peptides control different stomatal pattern ...
