Protein kinases in plant responses to drought, salt, and cold stress
Protein kinases in plant responses to drought, salt, and cold stress
- Journal of Integrative Plant Biology. 63(1), 53-78, 2021, DOI: 10.1111/jipb.13061 .
Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has become critical for developing and breeding climate-resilient crops. In this review, we summarize recent progress on understanding plant drought, salt, and cold stress responses, with a focus on signal perception and transduction by different protein kinases, especially sucrose nonfermenting1 (SNF1)-related protein kinases (SnRKs), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs/CPKs), and receptor-like kinases (RLKs). We also discuss future challenges in these research fields. © 2021 Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences
