Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CA01g29520
• Gene Symbol: CaCIPK3
• Gene Name: CBL-interacting protein kinase 3
• Genome:
• Species: Capsicum annuum

Functional Descriptions:

• The CaCIPK3 gene positively regulates drought tolerance in pepper.
• Knockdown of CaCIPK3 in pepper increased the sensitivity to mannitol and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Transient overexpression of CaCIPK3 improved drought tolerance by enhancing the activities of the antioxidant system and positively regulating jasmonate (JA)-related genes.
• Ectopic expression of CaCIPK3 in tomato also improved drought and MeJA resistance. As the CaCIPK3-interacting partner, CaCBL2 positively influenced drought resistance. Additionally, CaWRKY1 and CaWRKY41 directly bound the CaCIPK3 promoter to influence its expression.
• This study shows that CaCIPK3 acts as a positive regulator in drought stress resistance via the CBL–CIPK network to regulate MeJA signaling and the antioxidant defense system.
