NaLRR-RK4 mediates MAPK signaling to enhance plant defense against Alternaria alternata in Nicotiana attenuata by Meiwei Zhao, Haoruo Hu, Yingfen Yang, Meiquan Li, Jianjun Xia, Jin Wang, Tao Zhang, Lei Yang, Shichen Li, Zhengxiong Zhao

“…In contrast, RNAi-treated plants exhibited reduced activation of these genes, highlighting the essential role of NaLRR-RK4 in initiating effective defense responses. NaLRR-RK4 functions as a key regulator of MAPK signaling, mediating plant defense against A. alternata through the coordinated activation of WRKY33, PR1, and ethylene- and ABA-responsive genes.…”
