Cotton is widely grown in many countries around the world due to the huge economic value
of the total natural fiber. Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium …

Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) belong to a large DUF26-containing receptor-like
kinase (RLK) family. They play key roles in immunity, abiotic stress response, and growth …

Plant-specific receptor-like protein kinases (RLKs) are central components for sensing the
extracellular microenvironment. CYSTEINE-RICH RLKs (CRKs) are members of one of the …

All living organisms must develop mechanisms to cope with and adapt to new environments.
The transition of plants from aquatic to terrestrial environment provided new opportunities for …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a central phytohormone that orchestrates genetic and physiological
responses involving defense mechanisms against pathogens. This review presents cutting …

Chili anthracnose is one of the most common and destructive fungal pathogens that affects
the yield and quality of pepper. Although WRKY proteins play crucial roles in pepper …

The natural variation between Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ecotypes Columbia (Col)
and Landsberg erecta (Ler) strongly affects abscisic acid (ABA) signalling and drought …

Plant-specific receptor-like protein kinases (RLKs) are essential for pathogen recognition
during pattern-triggered immunity. Together with coreceptors and associated proteins, they …

With-No-Lysine (WNK) kinases are a subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. WNKs
are involved in plant abiotic stress response and circadian rhythms. However, members of …

Understanding temperature-sensitivity of R gene-mediated resistance against apoplastic
pathogens is important for sustainable food production in the face of global warming. Here …
