Abstract

Calcium plays a pivotal role in regulating the physiological as well as developmental processes in plants. Till now, there are several calcium sensors discovered, which regulate the diverse signaling pathways involved in plant growth and development. One of the major calcium sensors is calcineurin B-like (CBL) decoding the calcium signal during various environmental and physiological processes in plants. Calcium-mediated signal is transduced downstream by CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), generally phosphorylating the target proteins such as transcription factors or transporters/channel and finally leads to generation of a response. A signaling cascade possesses defined set of CBL–CIPK proteins and several designated target proteins.
