Receptor Kinases: A Sophisticate Protein Network to Maintain Plant life Continuity. An Update

Abstract

Abstract To govern the plant growth, defense from pathogen attack, to tolerate the harsh conditions and reproduction, plant employ very sophisticated and highly effective machinery in the form of receptor kinases (RKs) which make them adoptable in the diverse land environment. Different classes of RKs including receptor like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) unique in their functionality are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling; and have emerged as a major class of signaling proteins, which regulate the normal plant life continuity. For their central importance in vital functions of plants, RKs have brought overwhelming intention of researchers across the globe and have been considered as most flashpoint of research to investigate, by the plant biologists. We intended to provide an overview of current progress in understanding the associations of RKs with plant cellular responses to regulate the downstream signaling nodes to orchestrate a complex array of defense against microbial pathogens; to face any drought condition and how RKs are associated with signal peptides to coordinate the plant growth, pollen tube guidance and embryonic pattering. Following the rising attention of scientific community to explore the physiology and anatomy, these central players of plant life regulation in depth, we believe that this systematic review will provide an update on research about RKs and will be a source of blooming growth of research for beneficial knowledge to deal the diseases of plants.
