Recent insights into brassinosteroid signaling in plants: its dual control of plant immunity and stomatal development

Mol Plant. 2012 Nov;5(6):1179-81. doi: 10.1093/mp/sss097. Epub 2012 Sep 12.

Abstract

Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, plant innate immunity, and stomatal developments are three pathways that are initiated by receptor-like kinases. This commentary focuses on the latest findings in the role of BR signaling in plant immunity and stomatal development that provide some insight into the molecular mechanism of the BR signal pathway interacting with other receptor signaling pathways.
