Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GhCaM7
  • Gene Name: calmodulin-7
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • The calcium sensor GhCaM7 promotes cotton fiber elongation by modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
  • A gene encoding a calcium sensor, GhCaM7, was isolated based on its high expression level relative to other GhCaMs in fiber cells at the fast elongation stage.
  • Overexpressing GhCaM7 promotes early fiber elongation, whereas GhCaM7 suppression by RNAi delays fiber initiation and inhibits fiber elongation.
  • We conclude that GhCaM7, Ca2+ and ROS are three important regulators involved in early fiber elongation. GhCaM7 might modulate ROS production and act as a molecular link between Ca2+ and ROS signal pathways in early fiber development.
