Background Calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) are the
primary components of calcium sensors, and play crucial roles in plant developmental …

Free calcium ions are common second messengers in plant cells. The calcineurin B-like
protein (CBL) is a special calcium sensor that plays an important role in plant growth and …

Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) act as Ca2+ sensors and activate CBL-interacting protein
kinases (CIPKs) to form CBL-CIPK complexes, crucial for plant signal transduction and …
