Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb203330
• Gene Symbol: ZmCBL4 ZmCBL8 cbl8
• Gene Name: calcineurin B-like8
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCBL4 encodes a putative homolog of the Arabidopsis CBL4/SOS3 protein, with novel properties.
• The ZmCBL4-expressing Arabidopsis lines accumulated less Na+ and Li+ as compared with the control plants. This study has identified a putative maize CBL gene which functions in the salt stress-elicited calcium signaling and thus in the tolerance to salinity.
• Constitutive expression of ZmCBL4 enhances the salt tolerance of wild type Arabidopsis.
