With the global climate anomalies and the destruction of ecological balance, the water
shortage has become a serious ecological problem facing all mankind, and drought has …

The human population is increasing at an alarming rate, whereas at the same time
agricultural productivity is decreasing due to the effect of various environmental problems. In …

The CDPK-SnRK superfamily consists of seven types of serine-threonine protein kinases:
calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPKs), CDPK-related kinases (CRKs), phospho enol …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Abstract In plants, numerous Ca2+-stimulated protein kinase activities occur through calcium-
dependent protein kinases (CDPKs). These novel calcium sensors are likely to be crucial …

Versatility and specificity are usually mutually exclusive terms. However, as we discuss
calcium's role in plant nutrition, we are obliged to contrast the plethora of general …

Plant calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) may function as calcium sensors and
play important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development and in plant …

MYB transcription factors play central roles in plant responses to abiotic stresses. How stress
affects development is poorly understood. Here, we show that OsMYB3R-2 functions in both …

A unique family of protein kinases has evolved with regulatory domains containing
sequences that are related to Ca2+-binding EF-hands. In this family, the archetypal Ca2+ …

Calcium functions as a versatile messenger in mediating responses to hormones,
biotic/abiotic stress signals and a variety of developmental cues in plants. The Ca2+ …
