The Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase TaCDPK7 Positively Regulates Wheat Resistance to <i>Puccinia striiformis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i>.

ABSTRACT: Ca²⁺ plays a crucial role as a secondary messenger in plant development and response to abiotic/biotic stressors. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs/CPKs) are essential Ca²⁺ sensors that can convert Ca²⁺ signals into downstream phosphorylation signals. However, there is limited research on the function of CDPKs in the context of wheat-Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) interaction. In this study, we aimed to address this gap by identifying putative CDPK genes from the wheat reference genome and organizing them into four phylogenetic clusters (I-IV). To investigate the expression patterns of the TaCDPK family during the wheat-Pst interaction, we analyzed time series RNA-seq data and further validated the
