The evolutionary history and diverse physiological roles of the grapevine calcium-dependent protein kinase gene family.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are molecular switches that bind Ca(2+), ATP, and protein substrates, acting as sensor relays and responders that convert Ca(2+) signals, created by developmental processes and environmental stresses, into phosphorylation events.
