Abstract:
Plant receptor kinases play key roles in the cell-cell recognition process during development, defense against pathogens, and self incompatibility. Recent identification of potential ligand molecules and downstream signaling components, together with biochemical studies on receptor-complex formation, have revealed an emerging picture of receptor-kinase activation and signal transduction in plants.
