Calcium-dependent protein kinases in cotton: insights into early plant responses to salt stress

Abstract Background Soil salinization is one of the major environmental constraints to plant growth and agricultural production worldwide. Signaling components involving calcium (Ca2+) and the downstream calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) play key roles in the perception and transduction of st...
