Genus-Wide Pan-Genome Analysis of <i>Oryza</i> Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase Genes and Their Related Kinases Highlights the Complexity of Protein Domain Architectures and Expression Dynamics.

ABSTRACT: The Oryza genus serves not only as a gene pool for rice improvement but also as a model system for plant evolutionary research. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) function as both effectors and sensors in calcium signaling and play versatile roles in plant development and stress responses. Four kinase families, namely CPK-related kinases (CRKs), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinases (PPCKs), PPCK-related kinases (PEPRKs), and calcium- and calmodulin-dependent kinases (CCaMKs), are frequently called CPK-related kinases. This study utilized evolutionary genomics approaches and provided the pan-genome repertoires of CPKs and their related kinases in 34 Oryza genomes by leveraging the rich genomics resources of the Orzya genus.
