ABSTRACT = {This study explores <i>CAMTA</i> genes in the rare and endangered Chinese plant species, <i>Liriodendron chinense</i>. Despite the completion of whole-genome sequencing, the roles of <i>CAMTA</i> genes in calcium regulation and stress responses in this species remain largely unexplored. Within the <i>L. chinense</i> genome, we identified two <i>CAMTA</i> genes, <i>Lchi09764</i> and <i>Lchi222536</i>, characterized by four functional domains: CG-1, TIG, ANK repeats, and IQ motifs. Our analyses, including phylogenetic investigations, cis-regulatory element analyses, and chromosomal location studies, aim to elucidate the defining features of <i>CAMTA</i> genes in <i>L. chinense</i>. Applying Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we explored the impact of <i>CAMTA</i> genes on different organs and their regulation under abiotic stress conditions. The identification of significant gene modules and the prediction of promoter binding sites revealed co-expressed genes associated with <i>CAMTA</i> transcription factors. In summary, this study provides initial insights into <i>CAMTA</i> genes in <i>L. chinense</i>, laying the groundwork for future research on their evolution and biological roles. This knowledge enhancement contributes to a better understanding of plant responses to environmental stress—an essential aspect of plant biology.},
