Review: Plant receptor-like kinases sense extrinsic and host-derived signals and shape the microbiome
Plant Science Research WeeklyPlant genomes contain hundreds of genes encoding receptor-like kinases (RLKs), which are membrane-spanning proteins with an extracellular perception domain and an intracellular signaling domain. Many RLKs have roles in identifying surface proteins of pathogens, some recognize specific signals from mutualists…
