Description
Summary:Plant-specific receptor-like protein kinases (RLKs) are essential for pathogen recognition during pattern-triggered immunity. Together with coreceptors and associated proteins, they act as bona fide immune receptors, perceiving a variety of microbe-associated molecular patterns or damage-associated molecular patterns. The cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) form one of the biggest subgroups of RLKs, but so far, their ligands have not been identified. It has been shown that CRKs play important roles in plant immunity and defense responses as well as in response to abiotic stimuli and in control of plant development. However, molecular information on how CRKs integrate with the known framework of signaling components controlling early defense responses remains enigmatic.
