Key Findings
- The study from Wageningen University focuses on how plants use cell-surface receptors and kinases to detect and respond to pathogens
- Researchers found that the kinases SOBIR1 and BAK1 directly phosphorylate each other, which is crucial for their activity in plant immunity
- Specific kinases in the RLCK-VII subfamilies regulate the plant's immune response by controlling reactive oxygen species bursts and resistance to certain pathogens
