Function
CARK1_ARATH Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK) that triggers abscisic acid (ABA) signaling by phosphorylating and activating ABA receptors (e.g. PYL8/RCAR3 and PYR1/RCAR11), which in turn repress ABI1, a negative regulator of ABA responses (PubMed:29928509). Promotes drought tolerance (PubMed:29970817).[1] [2]
