Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) play crucial roles in plant
immunity, growth, and development. Plants deploy a large number of RLKs and RLPs as …

A key feature of innate immunity is the ability to recognize and respond to potential
pathogens in a highly sensitive and specific manner. In plants, the activation of pattern …

Plants and animals employ innate immune systems to cope with microbial infection. Pattern-
triggered immunity relies on the recognition of microbe-derived patterns by pattern …

The cells of multicellular organisms receive extracellular signals using surface receptors.
The extracellular domains (ECDs) of cell surface receptors function as interaction platforms …

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development;
it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and …

Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by surface-localized
pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) constitutes an important layer of innate immunity in …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

Brassinosteroid (BR) signal transduction research has progressed rapidly from the initial
discovery of the BR receptor to a complete definition of the basic molecular components …

Plants rely heavily on receptor-like kinases (RLKs) for perception and integration of external
and internal stimuli. The Arabidopsis regulatory leucine-rich repeat RLK (LRR-RLK) BAK1 is …

Background The root system of higher plants originates from the activity of a root meristem,
which comprises a group of highly specialized and long-lasting stem cells. Their …
