Abstract excerpt
Plant cells often use cell surface receptors to sense environmental changes and then transduce external signals via activated signaling pathways to trigger adaptive responses. In Arabidopsis, the receptor-like protein kinase (RLK) gene family contains more than 600 members, and some of these are induced by pathogen infection, suggesting a possible role in plant defense responses. We previously characterized an...
