What is Receptor-like Kinases and Their Role in Plant Innate Immunity about?

As sessile organisms that lack an adaptive immune system, plants are constantly challenged with numerous potential pathogens . However, as plants evolved, they developed unique strategies to both recognize and counteract pathogens that can be separated into two different branches . The first branch of the plant immune system is the use of transmembrane pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that can recognize highly conserved molecules associated with broad classes of pathogens (either pathogen-associated or microbe-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs or MAMPs), that then induce pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) . For example, the closure of the stomata, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, an influx of Ca 21 into the cytosol, the induction of the hypersensitive response (HR), and the production of antimicrobial compounds and other defense-related proteins are all responses associated with PTI . Some pathogens that successfully colonize a plant can deliver specific virulence factors (called effectors) into plant cells to counteract the effects of PTI. This is termed effectortriggered susceptibility and it sets in
