... understood. Tissue morphogenesis in Arabidopsis depends on the receptor-like kinase STRUBBELIG. Mutations in ZERZAUST were previously shown to result in a strubbelig -like mutant phenotype. Here, we report on the molecular identification and functional characterization of ZERZAUST . We show that ZERZAUST...

... through plasmodesmata (PD). PD conductivity is regulated by endogenous and exogenous signals. However, the underlying signaling mechanisms remain enigmatic. In Arabidopsis , signal transduction mediated by the receptor-like kinase STRUBBELIG (SUB) contributes to inter-cell layer signaling during tissue...

... OF LLP1 2 (SOL2), to restrict WUSCHEL ( WUS ) expression. In this study, we used the functional, synthetic CLV3 peptide (MCLV3) to isolate CLV3-insensitive mutants and revealed that a receptor-like kinase, RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASE 2 (RPK2), also known as TOADSTOOL 2 (TOAD2), is another key regulator...

...), that regulates membrane trafficking and is essential for floral organ shedding in Arabidopsis . Through a screen for mutations that restore organ separation in nev flowers, we have identified a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase, EVERSHED (EVR), that functions as an inhibitor of abscission. Defects...

...Lynn Jo Pillitteri; Shannon M. Bemis; Elena D. Shpak; Keiko U. Torii The Arabidopsis genome contains three ERECTA -family genes, ERECTA ( ER ), ERECTA-LIKE 1 ( ERL1 )and ERL2 that encode leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases. This gene family acts synergistically to coordinate cell...

...Elena D. Shpak; Chris T. Berthiaume; Emi J. Hill; Keiko U. Torii Growth of plant organs relies on coordinated cell proliferation followed by cell growth, but the nature of the cell-cell signal that specifies organ size remains elusive. The Arabidopsis receptor-like kinase (RLK) ERECTA regulates...
