In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RKs) perceive ligands, including peptides and small molecules, to regulate various physiological processes. TDIF, a member of the CLE ...

"This is the first completely connected signaling pathway from a plant receptor-like kinase, which is one of the biggest gene families in plants," says Carnegie's Zhi-Yong Wang, leader of the ...

Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant ... like the animal receptor kinases," she said. "No one even knew that you could take an extracellular domain of one and stick it onto another kinase and ...

An international research team has revealed a novel mechanism for the perception of endogenous peptides by a plant receptor ... types of proteins -- a receptor kinase (FERONIA) and an unrelated ...

A virus-targeted plant receptor-like kinase promotes cell-to-cell spread of RNAi. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2018 Jan 23. pii: 201715556. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1715556115. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID ...

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...

Birnbaum found that the plants’ glutamate receptor-like proteins began to ramp up their defense mechanism, almost as if they were getting ready for battle, he says. These molecules, which are ...

and their colleagues at Okayama University and NAIST have revealed the function of NIMA-related kinase 6 (NEK6) in the straight growth of plant cells. They employed live cell imaging to ...
