Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases of different subfamilies differentially regulate immune responses
Plant Science Research WeeklyCell surface receptor complexes act as the first line of defense in detecting pathogens and preventing invasion. Upon recognizing extracellular immunogenic patterns, a cascade of signaling relays occurs, mediated by phosphorylation events among a large array of membrane-associated proteins. These proteins…
HSL1 and BAM1/2 impact epidermal cell development by sensing distinct signaling peptides (Nature Comms)
Plant Science Research WeeklyCell-to-cell communication is crucial for coordinating plant immunity, development, and environmental adaptations. The main players in sensing signaling molecules are membrane receptor kinases such as Leucine Rich Repeat Receptor Kinases (LRR-RKs). In some cases these receptors detect peptide signals.…
