Characteristics analysis of genes in Arabidopsis thaliana ().

Early Responsive to Dehydration (ERD) genes are rapidly induced in response to various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as bacteria, drought, light, temperature and high salt in . Sixteen ERD of () genes have been previously identified. The lengths of the coding region of the genes are 504-2838 bp.

Cloning and functional identification of setaria italica somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinase1 gene (SiSERK1).

Plant somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinases (SERK), members of leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) subfamily, are widely involved in plant growth, development and innate immunity. In this study, the setaria italica somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinase1 gene (SiSERK1) was cloned by gateway technology, and transferred into a brasssinosteroid (BR) receptor mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana WS2 (bri1-5). After BL treatment, the transgenic plants could partially restore the phenotype of bri1-5.
