Genomic survey and evolution analysis of calcium-dependent protein kinases in plants and their stress-responsive patterns in populus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) phosphorylate downstream target proteins in response to signals transmitted by free calcium ions (Ca²⁺, one of the second messengers) and thus play important regulatory roles in many biological processes, such as plant growth, development, and stress response.

Results

A bioinformatic analysis, as well as thorough evolutionary and expression investigations, were conducted to confirm previous reports of functional evidence for plant CDPKs. Using the Phytozome database's BLAST search engine and the HMM search tool in TBtools software, we discovered that CDPKs are well conserved from green algae to flowering angiosperms in various gene family sizes. Additional investigations of the obtained CDPKs revealed high conse
