Plants have many, highly variable resistance (R) gene loci, which provide resistance to a
variety of pathogens. The first R gene to be cloned, maize (Zea mays) Hm1, was published …

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

Plants cannot move to escape environmental challenges. Biotic stresses result from a
battery of potential pathogens: fungi, bacteria, nematodes and insects intercept the …

Disease resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)
intracellular immune receptor proteins detect pathogens by the presence of pathogen …

There is remarkable conservation in the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular
patterns (PAMPs) by innate immune responses of plants, insects and mammals. We …

Plant diseases can drastically abate the crop yields as the degree of disease outbreak is
getting severe around the world. Therefore, plant disease management has always been …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) belong to the large RLK/Pelle gene family, and it is known that
the Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains> 600 such members, which play important roles …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are a family of transmembrane proteins with versatile N-
terminal extracellular domains and C-terminal intracellular kinases. They control a wide …
