Abstract:
In this review we focus on pattern recognition receptors in plants that detect extracellular signals indicative for pathogen attack and injury. We start out with a discussion on FLS2, which binds and responds to bacterial flagellin, and then concentrate on ligand-receptor interactions as initial steps in the molecular receptor activation process. Comparison with other receptor kinases, whether involved in plant immunity or regulation of other cellular programs, might indicate common principles of receptor activation.

Cells respond to many types of information, often through receptor proteins positioned on the membrane. For example, skin cells respond to and transmit touch...

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
