<i>CERK1</i> is required for chitin-triggered reactive oxygen species generation in melon and is broadly conserved in cucurbits. [PDF]
CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (CERK1), originally identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, encodes a pattern recognition receptor that perceives the fungal cell wall component called chitin to activate immune responses, including the production of ...

Chitin Soil Amendment Triggers Systemic Plant Disease Resistance Through Enhanced Pattern-Triggered Immunity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chitin triggers localised and systemic plant immune responses, making it a promising treatment for sustainable disease resistance. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying chitin‐induced systemic effects in plants remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of soil amendment with crab chitin flakes (hereafter chitin)

A GmNRF5a-GmCERK1-GmCAK1 module mediates chitin/chitosan-triggered immune response in soybean. [PDF]
In soybeans, the GmNFR5a‐GmCERK1‐GmCAK1 module regulates immune responses triggered by chitin oligosaccharides and chitosan oligosaccharides from fungal pathogens. This reveals a shared upstream signaling mechanism for distinct microbial patterns and provides valuable genetic targets for improving broad‐spectrum disease resistance in crops.

Phytosulfokine signalling blocks mycotoxin toxicity in Arabidopsis and mediates suppression of cell death activated by bacterial microbe-associated molecular patterns. [PDF]
Summary Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that disrupts ceramide biosynthesis and kills plants. Prior activation with bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), such as components of bacterial flagella, effectively suppresses FB1‐induced cell death.

The LysM receptor kinase CERK1 mediates bacterial perception in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plants use pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to perceive pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) and initiate defence responses. PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) plays an important role in general resistance, and constrains the growth of most microbes on plants. Despite the importance of PRRs in plant immunity, the vast majority of them remain to

Presence of LYM2 dependent but CERK1 independent disease resistance inArabidopsis [PDF]
Plants have the ability to detect invading fungi through the perception of chitin fragments released from the fungal cell walls. Plant chitin receptor consists of two types of plasma membrane proteins, CEBiP and CERK1. However, the contribution of these proteins to chitin signaling is different between Arabidopsis and rice.

PUB4, a CERK1-Interacting Ubiquitin Ligase, Positively Regulates MAMP-Triggered Immunity in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Abstract Lysin motif (LysM) receptor-like kinase CERK1 is a co-receptor essential for plant immune responses against carbohydrate microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Concerning the immediate downstream signaling components of CERK1, receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases such as PBL27 and other RLCK VII members have been reported ...

Autophosphorylation site Y428 is essential for the in vivo activation of CERK1 [PDF]
Autophosphorylation of PRR is a critical event for the activation of immune signaling in plant. However, the detailed function of these phosphorylation sites is still not well understood. We analyzed the function of an autophosphorylation site of Arabidopsis CERK1, Y428, in immune signaling.
