Peptide ligand-receptor kinase interactions have emerged as a key component of plant growth and development. Now, highly related small signaling peptides have been shown to act antagonistically on the same receptor kinase, providing new insights into how plants optimize developmental processes using competitive peptides.
肽配体-受体激酶相互作用已成为植物生长和发育的关键组成部分。现在,高度相关的小信号肽已被证明可以在同一受体激酶上产生拮抗作用,为植物如何使用竞争性肽来优化发育过程提供了新的见解。
