Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase CK2 is an evolutionary conserved Ser/Thr phosphotransferase composed of two distinct subunits, alpha (catalytic) and beta (regulatory), that combine to form a tetrameric complex. Plant genomes contain multiple genes for each subunit, the expression of which gives rise to different active holoenzymes. In order to study the effects of loss of function of CK2 on plant development, we have undertaken a...
