CERK1 is required for chitin-triggered reactive oxygen species generation in melon and is broadly conserved in cucurbits [PDF]
Plant Signaling and BehaviorCHITIN 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 ...

LIK1, A CERK1-Interacting Kinase, Regulates Plant Immune Responses in Arabidopsis [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Chitin, an integral component of the fungal cell wall, is one of the best-studied microbe-associated molecular patterns. Previous work identified a LysM receptor-like kinase (LysM-RLK1/CERK1) as the primary chitin receptor in Arabidopsis.

Arabidopsis ubiquitin ligase PUB12 interacts with and negatively regulates Chitin Elicitor Receptor Kinase 1 (CERK1) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In Arabidopsis, fungal chitin is recognized as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) by the chitin receptor complex containing the lysin-motif (LysM) receptor-like kinases CERK1 and LYK5.

Structural insights into glycan recognition by plant immune receptors: a comparative perspective with animal innate immune systems. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) function across diverse eukaryotic organisms as a powerful surveillance system to perceive danger signals and to trigger specific adaptive responses. This complex receptor network constitutes the first layer of perception of the innate immune system of plants and mammals.

Effect of the biopesticide Novoсhizol on the expression of defense genes during wheat infection with stem rust Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici [PDF]
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекцииStem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a harmful disease affecting grain crops. The traditional way to combat this and other infectious plant diseases is to use chemical pesticides.

A GmNRF5a-GmCERK1-GmCAK1 module mediates chitin/chitosan-triggered immune response in soybean. [PDF]
J Integr Plant BiolIn 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]
New PhytolSummary 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.
