Abstract:

Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs), as a kind of upstream signaling molecules, are important for sensing stress signals and triggering immune responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses during plant growth and development. CRKs are mainly composed of signal peptide, DUF26 (PF01657), transmembrane domain and intracellular kinase domain, in which both DUF26 and kinase domains are highly conserved in different species. Bioinformatic analysis has shown that there are 37-170 members of CRK family from monocots and dicots, and most of them have been suggested to play different roles in plant growth and stress response. This paper reviewed the current advances on cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase family in plants, such as gene structures and functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses,and may be of great significance for improving the ability of crops to resist stress.

Key words: cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases, plant, stress, growth and development
