Discovery and engineering of synthetic RLKs | Plantae
Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are abundant genes that have diversified and expanded throughout plant evolution, with most plants having hundreds or more RLKs. In this exciting new paper, Ngou et al.

this research is potentially also interesting to botanical industries (herbalist, food, cosmetics, cannabis, etc.) and maybe even to pharma, because a lot of the botanically derived extracts those industries use come from plant immune systems and their structure and function against pathogens.

BIK1-RIN4 complex links plant immunity and pathogen virulence
Plants deploy receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) and the immune hub protein RIN4 to coordinate PAMPs-triggered immunity (PTI). Here, we show that BIK1, but not its close homolog PBL1, dynamical...

We knew WIND1 promotes new fate acquisition and now we show WIND1 also helps repressing existing identity!
