Article Synopsis
- Drought stress significantly affects plant growth, and plants use various adaptations to survive, including the roles of CIPK proteins in stress response.
- This study identifies AtCIPK20's novel localization to cortical microtubules in Arabidopsis, which helps regulate stomatal closure and reduce water loss during drought.
- The findings suggest that multiple CIPK proteins in various plants share this localization, indicating a broader role in abiotic stress resistance that warrants further exploration.
