Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaCPK2-A
• Gene Name: calcium-dependent protein kinase 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaCPK2-A, a calcium-dependent protein kinase gene that is required for wheat powdery mildew resistance enhances bacterial blight resistance in transgenic rice.
• Overexpression of TaCPK2-A in rice enhanced bacterial blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Xoo) resistance.
• qRT-PCR analysis showed that overexpression of TaCPK2-A in rice promoted the expression of OsWRKY45-1, a transcription factor involved in both fungal and bacterial resistance by regulating jasmonic acid and salicylic acid signalling genes.
• Overexpression of TaCPK2-A in rice enhanced resistance to bacterial blight.
• The data also suggest that the capability of TaCPK2-A to confer both fungal and bacterial resistance is probably achieved by its modulation on the disease-resistance-related transcription factor WRKY45-1 and, hence, a subset of defence-response genes.
