Abstract
Somatic Embryogenesis Receptor-Like Kinases (SERKs) belong to the LRR-RLK II subfamily, which contain three conserved domains: an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular catalytic kinase domain. Previous studies had found that SERKs play many roles during plant development. This review made a brief introduction about the character of the SERKs and described the biological function of these proteins in somatic embryogenesis, sporogenesis, hormone response and host defense response. The research value and the application prospects of the SERKs were discussed.
