Plant Perception and Signaling of Chitin PAMPs/MAMPs. Chitin oligomers from fungal pathogens are structurally similar to lipo-chitin Nod factors produced by rhizobia, and LysM RLK1 is homologous to legume Nod factor receptors NFR1 and NFR5. LysM RLK1 may interact with LysM-containing CEBiP proteins that lack the intracellular kinase domain (Kaku et al., 2006). What are the downstream components that allow plants to distinguish between the beneficial symbiont and the detrimental pathogen?
