The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades act as crucial signaling modules that regulate plant growth and development, response to biotic/abiotic stresses, and plant immunity. MAP3Ks can be activated through phosphorylation in non-plant systems, but this has not been reported in plants to date. Here, we identified a total of 234 putative TaMAPK family members in wheat ( L.

The inconsistency in IDs impedes the integration of various types of biological data. To resolve the problem, we developed MantaID, a data-driven, machine learning-based approach that automates identifying IDs on a large scale.
