Brassinosteroid-driven cell expansion: How FERONIA and BIN2 shape plant growth
Plant Science Research WeeklyFERONIA (FER), a member of the Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1–like (CrRLK1-like) receptor kinase family, was initially identified as a key regulator of female fertility in Arabidopsis. Later studies revealed that FER is a multifunctional protein involved in nearly all aspects of plant growth…
