title: Characterization of a Mak subgroup Cdc2-like protein kinase from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.).
abstract: The Mak-type Cdc2-like protein kinases are, a relatively uncharacterized group of proteins. Bvcrk2 encodes a plant Mak-type kinase. Its highest levels of expression occur in the secondary meristems of developing sugar beet storage organs, suggesting a role, in planta, in the regulation of cell division or early cell differentiation.
