Leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like proteins (LRR-RLPs) are ubiquitous cell surface receptors
lacking a cytoplasmic signalling domain. For most of these LRR-RLPs, it remained enigmatic …

Plants constantly renew during their life cycle and thus require to shed senescent and
damaged organs. Floral abscission is controlled by the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase …

To sustain plants' postembryonic growth and development in a structure of cells fixed in cell
walls, a tightly controlled short distance cell–cell communication is required. The focus on …

Throughout their life cycle, plants produce new organs, such as leaves, flowers, and lateral
roots. Organs that have served their purpose may be shed after breakdown of primary cell …

Many important cell-to-cell communication events in multicellular organisms are mediated
by peptides, but only a few peptides have been identified in plants. In an attempt to address …

To generate the various tissues and organs that build up the adult body, plants and animals
require organized formative cell divisions and correct cell specification. In plants, these …

Peptide signaling presumably occupies a central role in plant development, yet only few
concrete examples of receptor-ligand pairs that act in the context of specific differentiation …

Plants, unlike animals, have developed a unique system in which they continue to form
organs throughout their entire life cycle, even after embryonic development. This is possible …

Plants have evolved developmental plasticity which allows the up-or down-regulation of
photosynthetic and water loss capacities as new leaves emerge. This developmental …
