Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of calmodulin-like proteins in cucumber.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The calmodulin-like (CML) protein is a crucial Ca²⁺-binding protein that can sense and conduct the Ca²⁺ signal in response to extracellular stimuli. The CML protein families have been identified and characterized in many species. Nevertheless, scarce information on cucumber CML is retrievable.

Methods

In this study, bioinformatic analyses, including gene structure, conserved domain, phylogenetic relationship, chromosome distribution, and gene synteny, were comprehensively performed to identify and characterize CsCML gene members. Spatiotemporal expression analysis in different organs and environment conditions were assayed with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Results

Forty-four CsCMLs family members w
