Isolation and expression analysis of CsCML genes in response to abiotic stresses in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).

ABSTRACT: Calmodulin-like (CML) proteins are a class of important Ca²⁺ sensors in plants, which play vital roles in regulating plant growth and development and response to abiotic stress. Tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) is the most popular non-alcoholic economic beverage crop around the world. However, the potential functions of CMLs in either tea plants growth or in the response to environmental stresses are still unclear. In the present study, five CsCML genes (CsCML16, CsCML18-1, CsCML18-2, CsCML38, and CsCML42) were isolated from tea plant, and functionally characterized. The CsCML genes showed diverse expression patterns in leaves, roots, old stems, immature stems and flowers of tea plants. To investigate the expression changes of the genes under various abiotic stresses and ABA tre
