Classification and phylogenetic analyses of the Arabidopsis and tomato G-type lectin receptor kinases
Abstract Background Pathogen perception by plants is mediated by plasma membrane-localized immune receptors that have varied extracellular domains. Lectin receptor kinases (LecRKs) are among these receptors and are subdivided into 3 classes, C-type LecRKs (C-LecRKs), L-type LecRKs (L-LecRKs) and G-t...
