Abstract:A calmodulin gene named MaCAM was obtained by RACE technology based on a fragment from banana’s root cDNA library.The full length of this gene was 845 bp and encoded 149 amino acids.The result of bioinformatics showed that this protein is a stable protein with two conserved function domains——EFh,which pI is 4.12.Compared with other plant calmodulin genes,the identity of MaCAM was more than 90%.Amino acids identity analysis indicated that MaCAM had 99.33%,96.71%,98.00%,98.66% similarity compared with Oryza sativa var.japonica,Elaeis guineensis,Daucus carota and Saccharum officinarum,respectively.This gene had the most familiar genetic relationship with that of S.officinarum.RT PCR analysis showed that MaCAM was constitutively expressed in roots,stems,leaves,flowers and fruits.The expression level was the highest in root,flower followed in,and was the lowest in leaves.
