Ectopic Expression of , Calcineurin B-Like 1 Gene From , Rescues the Salt and Osmotic Stress Hypersensitivity in Arabidopsis Mutant.

Extensive studies with suggested that calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins constitute a unique family of calcium sensors in plants, which mediate a variety of abiotic stress responses. However, little is known about their function in most plants that do not have available genome sequences. In this study, we have developed a pair of universal primers that make it possible to isolate CBL1-like genes from various plants without sequence information.
