Role of Plant Calmodulin Isoforms in Tolerance to Abiotic Stress

The book "Role of Plant Calmodulin Isoforms in Tolerance to Abiotic Stress" offers a comprehensive examination of the role of calmodulin protein isoforms in the adaptation of plants to abiotic stress. It focuses on the analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant, and highlights the genetic foundations behind the response to environmental changes. By using wild-type and T-DNA insertion mutants, specific isoforms of calmodulin are investigated to understand their influence on the stress response. The results suggest that the total amount of calmodulin proteins plays a crucial role in regulating GAD activity under various stress conditions, rather than a specific isoform being solely responsible. These findings contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that help plants adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions.
