The plant receptor-like-kinase subfamily CrRLK1L has been widely studied, and CrRLK1Ls have been described as crucial regulators in many processes in (L.), Heynh. Little is known, however, about the functions of these proteins in other plant species, including potential roles in symbiotic nodulation. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of CrRLK1L subfamily receptors of 57 different plant species and identified 1050 CrRLK1L proteins, clustered into 11 clades. This analysis revealed that the CrRLK1L subfamily probably arose in plants during the transition from chlorophytes to embryophytes and has undergone several duplication events during its evolution. Among the of legumes and , protein structure, gene structure, and expression patterns were highly conserved. Some legume genes were active in nodules. A detailed analysis of eight nodule-expressed genes in L. showed that these genes were differentially expressed in roots at different stages of the symbiotic process. These data suggest that are both conserved and underwent diversification in a wide group of plants, and shed light on the roles of these genes in legume-rhizobia symbiosis.

Article Synopsis
- Protein kinases are crucial for plant growth and responses to stress, but research on these proteins in sunflowers is limited compared to other crops like soybean and cotton.
- A comprehensive study identified 2,583 protein kinases in sunflowers, classifying them into 22 families and 121 subfamilies, with three specific subfamilies showing significant growth.
- The research also analyzed how these kinases respond to different stresses, ultimately identifying 73 key protein kinases involved in essential signaling pathways, contributing valuable foundational data to the field.

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.

Owing to its versatile roles in almost all aspects of plants, FERONIA (FER), a receptor-like kinase of the Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L) subfamily, has received extensive research interests during the past decades. Accumulating evidence has been emerged that FER homologs in horticultural crops also play crucial roles in reproductive biology and responses to environmental stimuli (abiotic and biotic stress factors). Here, we provide a review for the latest advances in the studies on FER homologs in modulating stress responses in horticultural crops, and further analyze the underlying mechanisms maintained by FER.

FERONIA (FER) is a member of the Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L) protein subfamily, which participates in reproduction, abiotic stress, biotic stress, cell growth, hormone response, and other molecular mechanisms of plants. However, the mechanism by which a single RLK is capable of mediating multiple signals and activating multiple cellular responses remains unclear. Here, we summarize research progress revealing the spatial-temporal expression of FER, along with its co-receptors and ligands determined the function of FER signaling pathway in multiple organs.
