The Role of Plasmodesmata-Associated Receptor in Plant Development and Environmental Response

Minh Huy Vu et al. Plants (Basel). .

Abstract

Over the last decade, plasmodesmata (PD) symplasmic nano-channels were reported to be involved in various cell biology activities to prop up within plant growth and development as well as environmental stresses. Indeed, this is highly influenced by their native structure, which is lined with the plasma membrane (PM), conferring a suitable biological landscape for numerous plant receptors that correspond to signaling pathways. However, there are more than six hundred members of Arabidopsis thaliana membrane-localized receptors and over one thousand receptors in rice have been identified, many of which are likely to respond to the external stimuli. This review focuses on the class of plasmodesmal-receptor like proteins (PD-RLPs)/plasmodesmal-receptor-like kinases (PD-RLKs) found in planta. We summarize and discuss the current knowledge regarding RLPs/RLKs that reside at PD-PM channels in response to plant growth, development, and stress adaptation.

Keywords: environmental stresses; plant development; plasmodesmata; receptor-like kinase; receptor-like protein.
