Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CPK) is crucial in Ca2+ signal transduction, and is a large gene family in plants. In our previous work, we reported Hevea brasiliensis CPKs were important for natural rubber biosynthesis. However, this CPK gene family in other rubber producing plants has not been investigated. Here, we report the CPKs in five representative Asteraceae species, including three rubber-producing and two non-rubber species. A total of 34, 34, 40, 34 and 30 CPKs were identified from Taraxacum koksaghyz, Lactuca sativa, Helianthus annuus, Chrysanthemum nankingense and Cynara cardunculus, respectively. All CPKs were classified into four individual groups (group I to IV). In addition, 10 TkCPKs, 11 LsCPKs, 20 HaCPKs, 13 CnCPKs and 7 CcCPKs duplicated paralogs were identified. Further evolutionary analysis showed that, compared to other subfamilies, the group III had been expanded in the Asteraceae species, especially in the rubber-producing species. Meanwhile, the CPKs in group III from Asteraceae species tend to expand with low calcium binding capacity. This study provides a systematical evolutionary investigation of the CPKs in five representative Asteraceae species, suggesting that the sub-family specific expansion of CPKs might be related to natural rubber producing.
