The kinome of pineapple: catalog and insights into functions in crassulacean acid metabolism plants
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants use water 20–80% more efficiently by shifting stomata opening and primary CO2 uptake and fixation to the nighttime. Protein kinases (PKs) play pivotal roles in this biological process. However, few PKs
