Receptor kinases (RKs) are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling that
governs plant reproduction, growth, development, and adaptation to diverse environmental …

Leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like proteins (LRR-RLPs) are ubiquitous cell surface receptors
lacking a cytoplasmic signalling domain. For most of these LRR-RLPs, it remained enigmatic …

The introgression of chromosome segments from wild relatives is an established strategy to
enrich crop germplasm with disease-resistance genes. Here we use mutagenesis and …

Plants have evolved a large number of cell surface-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs)
and receptor-like proteins (RLPs), many of which are implicated in sensing extrinsic and …

The plant immune system is activated by microbial patterns that are detected as nonself
molecules. Such patterns are recognized by immune receptors that are cytoplasmic or …

Effective plant defense strategies rely in part on the perception of non-self determinants, so-
called microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), by transmembrane pattern …

Reduction/oxidation (redox) metabolism and associated signaling are key components of
cross tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Climate change factors such as …

Abscission consists in the detachment of entire vegetative and reproductive organs due to
cell separation processes occurring at the abscission zones (AZs) at specific positions of the …

Throughout their life cycle, plants produce new organs, such as leaves, flowers, and lateral
roots. Organs that have served their purpose may be shed after breakdown of primary cell …

Abscission is a developmental process that enables plants to shed unwanted organs. In
Arabidopsis, the floral organ abscission is regulated by a signaling pathway consisting of the …
