A flagellin-induced complex of the receptor FLS2 and BAK1 initiates plant defence
Article Abstract:
BRI1-associated receptor kinase (BAK1), a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase that has regulated the brassinosteroid receptor BRI1, is involved in signaling by flagellin-sensitive 2 (FLS2) and elongation factor Tu receptor (EFR). It is shown that BAK1 is not only involved with developmental regulation through the plant hormone receptor BRI1, but also has a functional role in PRR-dependent signaling, which has initiated innate immunity.

The Arabidopsis F-box protein TIR1 is an auxin receptor
Article Abstract:
A demonstration that auxin promotes the interaction between SCF (super TIR1) and Aux/IAAs, and hence Aux/IAA degradation, is presented by binding directly to TIR1. The results revealed that this modification involves the direct binding of auxin to TIR1 and thus that TIR1 is an auxin receptor mediating transcriptional responses to auxin.

An axis of auxin
Article Abstract:
The role of auxin in elaborating the embryonic axis is discussed. Auxin fluxes help to maintain the embryonic axis of polarity.
