Article Synopsis
- - Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are important for plant growth, development, and stress responses; however, their specific roles in strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) were not well understood before this study.
- - The researchers identified nine new CDPK genes in strawberries, categorizing them into four groups based on their genetic structure and evolutionary relationships through RNA sequencing analysis.
- - The study found that these CDPK genes show varying expression levels during fruit development and ripening, as well as in response to stresses like salt and drought, highlighting their potential for improving fruit nutrition and plant resilience.
The rice cultivar ( L.) BRS AG, developed by Embrapa Clima Temperado, is the first cultivar designed for purposes other than human consumption. It may be used in ethanol production and animal feed.

In order to obtain accurate and reliable results in gene expression studies, it is necessary to use reference genes, which must have uniform expression in the majority of cells in the organism studied. RNA isolation of leaves and expression analysis in real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were carried out.
