CPK28 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5B02G115400, symbol CPK28 and also known as TaCDPK9-1, encodes a non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases family, with calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and ATP binding. In bread wheat on chromosome 5B, this gene is associated with salt stress tolerance, activation of the salinity response, and osmotic response. It is linked to auxin signalling, ARF inactivation by AUX/IAA, regulation of seed size, seed development, and reproductive structure development. Associations include response to jasmonic acid, ethylene, nitrate, and karrikin, as well as positive regulation of flavonoid anabolism, regulation of the hypersensitive response, and transition metal and calcium transport. The encoded protein localises to the membrane, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
