Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor
kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis …

Plant genomes encode hundreds of receptor kinases and peptides, but the number of
known plant receptor-ligand pairs is limited. We report that the Arabidopsis leucine-rich …

Initiation of plant immune signaling requires recognition of conserved molecular patterns
from microbes and herbivores by plasma membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors …

Phytocytokines are plant peptide signals perceived by plasma membrane-localized
receptors in regulating plant immunity. It was recently reported that the phytocytokine …

Plant signalling peptides are typically released from larger precursors by proteolytic
cleavage to regulate plant growth, development and stress responses. Recent studies …

Upon recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) such as the bacterial
flagellin (or the derived peptide flg22) by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) such as the …

Endogenous peptides are important signaling molecules facilitating short-and long-distance
signaling in plant growth, development, and immunity (Rzemieniewski and Stegmann …

In plants, innate immune responses are initiated by plasma membrane-located pattern
recognition receptors (PRRs) upon recognition of elicitors, including exogenous pathogen …

In nature, one of the largest challenges of plants is to cope with multiple pathogens. Unlike
animals, plants lack an adaptive immune system. To defend against pathogen attacks …
