Brassinosteroids (BRs) have remarkable ability to increase stress tolerance in plants. Investigations to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying BR-mediated stress tolerance resulted in identification of genes belonging to the family calmodulin binding protein X (CBPX). The present study was focused on studying the role of CBPX1 and CBPX2 in BR mediated stress tolerance and functional characterization using a reverse genetic approach. The upregulation of CBPX1 and CBPX2 by BR and stress noted in publicly available AtGenexpress datasets and by qRT-PCR analysis strongly suggests that these are BR responsive genes and functional analysis of T-DNA insertion mutants showed salt stress related …
