RLKs in anther development.

Abstract

The cell-to-cell communication is essential for specifying different cell types during plant growth, development and adaption to the ever-changing environment. Plant male reproduction, in particular, requires the exquisitely synchronized development of different cell layers within the male tissue, the anther. Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) belong to a large group of kinases localized on the cell surfaces, perceiving extracellular signals and thereafter regulating intracellular processes. Here we update the role of RLKs in early anther development by defining the cell fate and anther patterning, responding to the changing environment and controlling anther carbohydrate metabolism. We provide speculation of the poorly characterized ligands and substrates of these RLKs. The conserved and diversified aspects underlying the function of RLKs in anther development are discussed.

受体样激酶在调节植物雄性生殖中的作用。

关键信息

花药开发中的RLK。

抽象的

细胞间通信对于在植物生长，发育以及适应不断变化的环境期间指定不同的细胞类型至关重要。植物雄性繁殖特别需要雄性组织花药内不同细胞层的精确同步发育。受体样激酶（RLKs）属于位于细胞表面的一大类激酶，可感知细胞外信号并随后调节细胞内过程。在这里，我们通过定义细胞命运和花药模式，响应不断变化的环境并控制花药碳水化合物的代谢，更新了RLK在花药早期发育中的作用。我们提供了这些RLK的特征较差的配体和底物的推测。
