Leucine-rich repeat receptor like protein kinase (original) (raw)

Leucine-rich repeat receptor like protein kinase (PEPR1 and PEPR2 in Arabidopsis thaliana and Xa21 in rice) are plant cell membrane localized Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor kinase that play critical roles in plant innate immunity. Plants have evolved intricate immunity mechanism to combat against pathogen infection by recognizing Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMP) and endogenous Damage Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP). PEPR 1 considered as the first known DAMP receptor of Arabidopsis.
