Cells must respond to an array of environmental and developmental cues. The signaling
networks that have evolved to generate appropriate cellular responses are varied and are …

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 …

A rice gene encoding a calcium‐dependent protein kinase (CDPK), OsCDPK7, was induced
by cold and salt stresses. To elucidate the physiological function of OsCDPK7, we generated …

PM28A is a major intrinsic protein of the spinach leaf plasma membrane and the major
phosphoprotein. Phosphorylation of PM28A is dependent in vivo on the apoplastic water …

Background Aquaporins, also called major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), constitute an ancient
superfamily of channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across …

Functional genomic technologies are generating vast amounts of data describing the
presence of transcripts or proteins in plant cells. Together with classical genetics, these …

▪ Abstract Infection of legume roots or stems with soil bacteria of the Rhizobiaceae results in
the formation of nodules that become symbiotic nitrogen-fixing organs. Within the infected …

Aquaporins are water channel proteins belonging to the major intrinsic protein (MIP)
superfamily of membrane proteins. More than 150 MIPs have been identified in organisms …

Accumulating evidence indicates that aquaporins play a key role in plant water relations.
Plant aquaporins are part of a large and highly divergent protein family that can be divided …

Two cDNA clones, AATCDPK1 and cATCDPK2, encoding Ca 2+-dependent, calmodulin-
independent protein kinases (CDPK) were cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana and their …
