Genome-wide identification and analysis of wheat LRR-RLK family genes following Chinese wheat mosaic virus infection.

Background: As the largest plant receptor-like protein kinase (RLK) superfamily, the 21 leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) family are involved in plant 22 growth, development, and stress responses. However, the functions of LRR-RLKs in 23 wheat immunity remain unknown.

Results: In the current study, 929 LRR-RLKs were identified in 25 genome database using the BLAST and hidden Markov models (HMM) approach and 26 divided into 14 clades.
