The structural and functional integrity of the cell wall needs to be constantly monitored and
fine‐tuned to allow for growth while preventing mechanical failure. Many studies have …

Adverse environmental conditions have negative effects on plant growth and development.
Receptor proteins on the plasma membrane sense various environmental stimuli and …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates stomatal movement under drought stress,
and this regulation requires hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We isolated GUARD CELL …

Plants are hosts to a wide array of pathogens from all kingdoms of life. In the absence of an
active immune system or combinatorial diversifications that lead to recombination-driven …

Phytosulfokine (PSK) is a disulfated pentapeptide that has a ubiquitous role in plant growth
and development,. PSK is perceived by its receptor PSKR,, a leucine-rich repeat receptor …

Plant sterols and steroid hormones, the brassinosteroids (BRs), are compounds that exert a
wide range of biological activities. They are essential for plant growth, reproduction, and …

Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs) play essential roles in plant growth, development and
responses to environmental stresses. A putative RLK gene, OsSIK1, with extracellular …

Phytosulfokine (PSK) is perceived by the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase PSKR1 and
promotes growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. PSKR1 is coexpressed with the CYCLIC …

The beneficial element silicon (Si) may affect radial oxygen loss (ROL) of rice roots
depending on suberization of the exodermis and lignification of sclerenchyma. Thus, the …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are phytosteroid hormones controlling various physiological
processes critical for normal growth and development. BRs are perceived by a protein …
