Abstract

Transmembrane kinases (TMKs) and Feronia (FER) belong to the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase family. Recent studies reveal that they coordinate plant growth and stress responses by regulating the balance between acidification and alkalization and crosstalk between auxin and abscisic acid, revealing a dynamic equilibrium in the regulation of the TMK-FER module in plants.

Keywords: TMK-FER; abscisic acid; acidification and alkalization balance; auxin; plant growth; stress responses.
