Characterization and Expression Profiling Analysis of Calmodulin Genes in Response to Salt and Osmotic Stresses in Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) and in Comparison with Arabidopsis

Figure 5

Stress-related cis-element analysis of the promoter regions of pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) and Arabidopsis CaM genes. Stress-related cis-elements including ABRE (involved in the response to ABA), CE3 (involved in ABA and VP1 responsiveness), HSE (involved in response to heat and oxidative stress), LTR (involved in response to low temperature), MBS (MYB binding site involved in response to ABA and drought), and W-box (WRKY binding site involved in abiotic stress and defense response) are shown in the promoter region (1000 bp upstream) of pear and Arabidopsis CaM genes. The colored boxes present above or below the line indicate the plus or minus strand for the distribution of PbCaM genes.
