Low temperature is the main limiting factor for cultivation expansion, fast growth, and high yield of Eucalyptus species. To investigate the mechanism of their cold tolerance, a cDNA subtraction library representing the cold-induced genes of Eucalyptus dunnii was constructed using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique. A gene encoding a calmodulin-binding protein (CaMBP) was identified from the SSH library, and the expression pattern of CaMBP under cold stress was further evaluated through reverse transcription - quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expressions of EguCBF1a and EdCaMBP increased already after 4 h of the cold stress, supporting the idea that the CaMBP gene may have a function in the survival of Eucalyptus during winter. A full-length mRNA sequence of 1 808 bp was obtained via a rapid amplification of cDNA ends method, and the sequence was subsequently deposited to GenBank (accession No. JX401571). The CaMBP cDNA of E. dunnii contained a single open reading frame of 1 362 bp, a 5t' untranslated region of 175 bp, and a 3t' untranslated region of 268 bp. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicated that CaMBP of E. dunnii shared 56 to 84 % identities with the CaMBPs of other plants and was similar to that of Ricinus communis, Medicago truncatula, and Gossypium hirsutum.
