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 ...
