Research Abstract |
Plants need to confront a great variety of fungal pathogens for their survival. In response to fungal attacks, plants have evolved various defense mechanisms, known as a plant innate immunity, to thwart or limit these infections. In this study, we tried to clarify relationships between structure and function of extracellular domains of the plant chitin elicitor receptors.
