Identifying Calmodulin and Calmodulin-like Protein Members in Canavalia rosea and Exploring Their Potential Roles in Abiotic Stress Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Calmodulins (CaMs) and calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs) belong to families of calcium-sensors that act as calcium ion (Ca²⁺) signal-decoding proteins and regulate downstream target proteins. As a tropical halophyte, Canavalia rosea shows great resistance to multiple abiotic stresses, including high salinity/alkalinity, extreme drought, heat, and intense sunlight. However, investigations of calcium ion signal transduction involved in the stress responses of C. rosea are limited. The CaM and CML gene families have been identified and characterized in many other plant species. Nevertheless, there is limited available information about these genes in C. rosea. In this study, a bioinformatic analysis, including the gene structures, conserved protein
