| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chitin is a major component of fungal cell wall and induces various defense responses in plants. After the perception of chitin by the cell surface receptor, chitin-induced immune signaling is activated through the receptor-interacting proteins. In this study, it was revealed that a novel receptor interacting protein, which was identified by this researcher, contributes to chitin-induced defense responses. In addition, this interacting protein was phosphorylated by the CERK1 kinase domain. This phosphorylation was suggested to play a role in activating the interacting protein.
