Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Analysis of the Calcineurin B-like Protein and Calcineurin B-like Protein-Interacting Protein Kinase Gene Families in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis).

ABSTRACT: In plants, calcineurin B-like proteins (CBL) are a unique set of calcium sensors that decode calcium signals by activating a plant-specific protein kinase family called CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs). The CBL-CIPK family and its interacting complexes regulate plant responses to various environmental stimuli. Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) is an important vegetable crop in Asia; however, there are no reports on the role of the CBLs-CIPKs' signaling system in response to abiotic stress during cabbage growth. In this study, 18 CBL genes and 47 CIPK genes were identified from the Chinese cabbage genome. Expansion of the gene families was mainly due to tandem repeats and segmental duplication. An analysis of gene expression patterns showed that different
