Abstract excerpt
Fungi, arthropods, and nematodes are chitin-containing organisms that cause severe damage to crop production. Plants can sense chitin to activate immunity against these invaders. In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), the lysin motif-containing receptor kinases (LysM-RKs) AtLYK5 and AtCERK1 are considered the primary chitin receptor and coreceptor for chitin binding and signaling, respectively. However, several...
