Genome-wide characterization of the CIPK gene family in mung bean and functional validation of VrCIPK5 in drought stress response
The heterologous overexpression of VrCIPK5 in tobacco conferred enhanced drought tolerance by promoting proline accumulation, increasing antioxidant enzyme activities, accelerating stomatal closure, and upregulating downstream stress-responsive genes, thus alleviating reactive oxygen species overaccumulation and membrane lipid peroxidation.
