Review. Alternative modes of RLK function: Insights into cleavage-driven plant signaling
Plant Science Research WeeklyReceptor-like kinases (RLKs) constitute a large family of membrane-bound proteins in plants. The Arabidopsis genome encodes over 600 RLKs, while the rice genome contains more than 1,000. RLKs are best known for their role in perceiving environmental stimuli and triggering downstream signaling pathways…
