Receptor kinases (RKs) are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling that
governs plant reproduction, growth, development, and adaptation to diverse environmental …

As a universal process in multicellular organisms, including animals and plants, cells usually
emit danger signals when suffering from attacks of microbes and herbivores, or physical …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are ubiquitous signaling modules in
eukaryotes. Early research of plant MAPKs has been focused on their functions in immunity …

The mixed linear model has been widely used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS),
but its application to multi-locus GWAS analysis has not been explored and assessed. Here …

As important physiological regulators, peptides have been used in many fields including
medicine, cosmetics, healthcare products, animal nutrition and health, and plant nutrition …

Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor
kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis …

As sessile organisms, plants are exposed to constantly changing environments that are
often stressful for their growth and development. To cope with these stresses, plants have …

Pep1 is a 23–amino acid peptide that enhances resistance to a root pathogen, Pythium
irregulare. Pep1 and its homologs (Pep2 to Pep7) are endogenous amplifiers of innate …

Plants have evolved a family of unique membrane receptor kinases to orchestrate the
growth and development of their cells, tissues, and organs. Receptor kinases also form the …
