摘要: Many biochemical approaches show functions of calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) in abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction, but molecular genetic evidence linking defined CDPK genes with ABA-regulated biological at the whole-plant level has been lacking. Here, we report that ABA stimulated two homologous CDPKs Arabidopsis thaliana, CPK4 and CPK11. Loss-of-function mutations CPK11 resulted pleiotropic ABA-insensitive phenotypes seed germination, seedling growth, stomatal movement led to salt insensitivity germination decreased tolerance seedlings stress. Double mutants had stronger ABA- salt-responsive than single mutants. CPK4- or CPK11-overexpressing plants generally showed inverse ABA-related relative those loss-of-function Expression levels many ABA-responsive were altered overexpression lines. The both phosphorylated transcription factors, ABF1 ABF4, vitro, suggesting may regulate signaling through these factors. These data provide planta for involvement CDPK/calcium are important positive regulators CDPK/calcium-mediated pathways.
