Calcium and ROS mediated defense responses in BY2 tobacco cells by non‐pathogenic Streptomyces sp
Conclusions: New insights are thus provided into the interaction mechanisms between Streptomyces sp. and plants; Streptomyces sp. could be sensed by plant cells and through cytosolic Ca2+ changes and the generation of reactive oxygen species, defense responses were induced.Significance and Impact of Study: These induced defense responses appeared to participate to attenuating Pectobacterium‐induced diseases in plants. Thus Streptomyces sp. OE7 could to be a biocontrol agent against Pectobacterium sp..© No claim to US Government works.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a multifunctional intracellular calcium ion receptor protein that participates in a range of cellular processes, including calcium metabolism in mussels. To investigate the role of CaM in freshwater mollusk shell calcium metabolism, the full-length CaM cDNA was isolated from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis schlegelii (referred to as hsCaM) using SMART RACE technology. The full-length hsCaM was 855 bp in size, containing a 70-bp 5ꞌ-untranslated sequence, a 447-bp open reading frame, a 309-bp 3ꞌ-untranslated sequence, and a 26-nucleot...
