Brassica napus, commonly known as rapeseed or canola, is an economically valuable oilseed crop grown throughout Canada that currently faces several challenges due to industrial farming practices as well as a changing climate. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are key regulators of stress signaling in multiple plant species. CDPKs sense changes in cellular calcium levels via a calmodulin-like domain and are able to respond to these changes via their protein kinase domain. In this mini-review, we provide a quick guide to BnaCDPKs. We present an updated phylogeny of the BnaCDPK family in relation to CDPKs from Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa and we provide a standardized nomenclature for the large BnaCDPK family that contains many co-orthologs. We analyze expression patterns of BnaCDPKs across tissue types and in response to abiotic and biotic stresses, and we summarize known functions of BnaCDPKs. We hope this guide is useful to anyone interested in exploring the prospect of harnessing the potential of BnaCDPKs in the generation of elite cultivars of B. napus.
