Book cover Receptor-like Kinases in Plants

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 13))

Abstract

Higher plants can detect a variety of molecular patterns that are indicative for the presence of mutualistic and antagonistic symbionts. These molecular signals comprise a variety of chemical structures from simple sterols and peptides to complex carbohydrates and modified proteins. Only for few of these signals the corresponding plant receptors have been identified so far. These known receptors, collectively termed pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), belong to the family of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) or to the related family of receptor-like proteins (RLPs).
