Evolutionary and Expression Analysis of CAMTA Gene Family in Three Species (Arabidopsis, Maize and Tomato), and Gene Expression in Response to Developmental Stages

The calmodulin-binding transcriptional activator (CAMTA) family has been known to be one of the fast responsive stress proteins. In this study, 17 CAMTA genes were selected in Arabidopsis, tomato and maize. chromosomal distributions, gene structures, duplication patterns, phylogenetic tree, developmental stage CAMTAgenes three species analyzed further investigate their functions. According synteny analysis, maize tomatorevealed higher similarity with each other as compared Arabidopsis. A than 90 percent identity was observed between (ZmCAMTA2 ZmCAMTA3) (SlCAMTA4, SlCAMTA4.1). To detect expression levels different plant tissues, mRNA analysis performed using publicly available data genvestigator. aim study identify characterize species, for first time, via insilico genome-wide approach. AtCAMTA1 AtCAMTA2 SlCAMTA2 ZmCAMTA1 ZmCAMTA2 up-regulated during all stages. conserved motifs structure most proteins group similar, validating classification. This could considered a useful source future comparative studies species.
