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 ...

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 key missing link in the so-called signaling pathway for plant steroid hormones has been discovered by researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology. Many important ...

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 ...

On the plant side of the arms struggle the study has identified key receptor proteins which regulate the cell-to-cell movement of RNA interference (RNAi). The movement of RNAi, also known as RNA ...

of Nagoya University have succeeded in discovering a key kinase receptor in the pollen tubes (male) of flowering plants responsible for allowing the pollen tubes to precisely reach the egg cell ...

The Falke group is currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of on-off switching of components within the chemosensory array, especially the mechanisms by which transmembrane receptors bind ...
