Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) play key roles during development and in responses to the environment. In plant immunity, some members of RLKs function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which, upon recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP), are recruited into active complexes to induce pathogen-triggered immunity (PTI). In this chapter, we describe the bioinformatics tools and procedures for the identification and phylogenetic classification of RLKs from different plant species as a framework for understanding RLK function in signal transduction and immunity.
类受体激酶(RLKs)在植物发育过程和对环境的响应中发挥关键作用。在植物免疫中,一些RLKs成员作为模式识别受体(PRRs)发挥作用,它们在识别病原体相关分子模式(PAMP)后,被招募到活性复合物中以诱导病原体触发的免疫(PTI)。在本章中,我们描述了用于从不同植物物种中鉴定和系统发育分类RLKs的生物信息学工具和程序,作为理解RLK在信号转导和免疫中功能的框架。
