Receptor-Like Kinase LYK9 in Pisum sativum L. Is the CERK1-Like Receptor that Controls Both Plant Immunity and AM Symbiosis Development.

Plants are able to discriminate and respond to structurally related chitooligosaccharide (CO) signals from pathogenic and symbiotic fungi. In model plants and LysM-receptor like kinases (LysM-RLK) AtCERK1 and OsCERK1 (chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1) were shown to be involved in response to CO signals. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the pea L.

Molecular and immunochemical phylogeny of Verticillium species.

21 strains with all typical morphological characteristics of eight Verticillium species (Phyllachorales) were studied in this work, together with representatives from four Hypocreales species (11 strains), that were previously classified as members of the genus. The PCR products from two nuclear genes, i.e.
