Abstract excerpt
RAF-like kinases (RAFs) play diverse roles across development and environmental adaptation in plants. TES1/RAF12, a B2 RAF in Arabidopsis thaliana, serves as a key regulator of seed germination in response to trimethylbutenolide (TMB), a smoke compound. Given that B2 RAF family members share conserved domains and biochemical activity, we investigated whether B2 RAF members other than TES1 are involved in the...
