Identification of receptor complex components and receptor activation mechanisms in plant innate immunity [PDF]
, 2011 Plants rely on an innate immune system which successfully recognizes and restricts pathogenic microbes. The key for this defense is the detection of pathogen derived non-self signatures and endogenous elicitors released during a microbial attack.

Evolution and Regulation of the Lotus japonicus LysM Receptor Gene Family
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2010 LysM receptor kinases were identified as receptors of acylated chitin (Nod factors) or chitin produced by plant-interacting microbes. Here, we present the identification and characterization of the LysM receptor kinase gene (Lys) family (17 members) in ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022 Lysin-motif receptor-like kinases (LysM-RLKs) are involved in the recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns to initiate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). LysM-RLKs are also required for recognition of microbe-derived symbiotic signal molecules

Bioconversion of chitin-containing wastes for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials
, 2011 The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. The oligosaccharides of chitin/chitosan, prepared by hydrolyzing chitin/chitosan with chitinase/chitosanase, have various potential applications in the fields of food, agricultural,

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effect of sub- and supercritical water treatments on the physicochemical properties of crab shell chitin and its enzymatic degradation [PDF]
, 2015 This study examined the effects of sub- and supercritical water pretreatments on the physicochemical properties of crab shell α-chitin and its enzymatic degradation to obtain N,N′-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAc)2.
