Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS!
We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species.
I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested!
Upon ligand perception, cell-surface receptors associate with co-receptors and cytoplasmic kinases to activate distinct responses.
We summarize key receptor signaling pathways involved in immunity, symbiosis, development, phytohormone responses, reproduction, and abiotic stress.
Many thanks to my co-authors
@yasukadota.bsky.social & @shirasulab.bsky.social , the editors, and the reviewers for their helpful suggestions that improved the manuscript.
We hope this review will be a useful resource for those interested in cell-surface receptors.
RLKs and RLCKs have undergone repeated diversification throughout plant evolution, contributing to their roles across a wide range of biological processes.
We propose several mechanisms through which new receptors and signaling pathways may evolve.
The same classes of ligands can be perceived by distinct ectodomains.
We discuss and summarize representative solved receptor-ligand/receptor structures to provide mechanistic insights into how diverse ectodomains sense different molecules.
