Members of the CrRLK1L family, a subgroup of the receptor-like kinase (RLK) gene family, are thought to act as sensors for the integrity of the cell wall and regulators of polar elongation. To better understand the various functions in fiber development, we conducted genome-wide identification and characterization analyses of CrRLK1L family in cotton. Here 44, 40, and 79 CrRLK1L genes were identified from three cotton species: diploid G. raimondii (D5), diploid G. arboreum (A2), and tetraploid G. hirsutum TM-1 (AD1), respectively. The 44 CrRLK1Ls in G. raimondii were anchored to the 12 chromosomes unevenly and were classified into six groups (I-VI), with group II and group IV being further divided into two subgroups (groups IIa and IIb, and IVa and IVb, respectively). These CrRLK1Ls displayed a highly regular pattern of developmental and spatial regulation in cotton. Using the transcriptome data of five chromosomal segment introgression lines (CSILs) and the physical integration of CrRLK1Ls with the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to fiber quality traits, we revealed that six CrRLK1L genes were highly associated with fiber development. This study brings new insights into the integrated genome-wide identification of CrRLK1Ls in cotton and provides references for the genetic improvement of cotton fiber.

Valsa canker, caused by fungal pathogens in Valsa species, is a fungal disease of apple and pear growing in China and even in Asia. Malectin-like kinases play crucial roles in plant recognition of the pathogen-induced signals and subsequent activation of partially host immune responses. However, the role of MEDOS1 (MDS1), a Malectin-like kinase, in plant immunity has not yet been extensively explored.

Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L) plays pivotal roles in regulating plant growth and development, mediating intercellular signal transduction, and modulating responses to environmental stresses. However, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the gene family in maize remains elusive. In this study, a total of 24 genes were identified in the maize whole genome.

CrRLK1L subfamily members are involved in diverse growth- and development-related processes in Arabidopsis. However, the functions of their counterparts in rice are unknown. Here, OsANX expression was detected in developing inflorescences, mature pollen grains, and growing pollen tubes, and it was localized to the plasma membrane in pollen grains and tobacco epidermal cells.

() genes encode a subfamily of receptor-like kinases (RLK) that regulate diverse processes during plant growth, development, and stress responses. The first CrRLK1L was identified from the , commonly known as Madagascar periwinkle. Subsequently, CrRLK1L gene families have been characterized in many plants.
