Danger signals trigger immune responses upon perception by a complex surveillance
system. Such signals can originate from the infectious nonself or the damaged self, the latter …

Plants are under relentless challenge by pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes, for
whom they provide a resource of living space and nutrients. Upon detection of pathogens …

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 …

Endogenous signalling peptides play diverse roles during plant growth, development and
stress responses. Research in recent years has unravelled peptides with previously known …

Plant plasma membrane-resident immune receptors regulate plant immunity by recognizing
microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), damage-associated molecular patterns …

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

As sessile organisms, plants are exposed to diverse abiotic and biotic stresses, and thus
have developed complex signaling mechanisms that orchestrate multiple stress responses …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant-specific steroidal phytohormones, which play
fundamental roles in regulating diverse aspects of the plant life cycle including plant growth …
