Composite traits involve multiple components that, only when combined, gain a new synergistic function. Thus, how they evolve remains puzzle. We combined field experiments, microscopy, chemical analyses, and laser Doppler vibrometry with comparative phylogenetic analyses to show that two carnivorous
Metacaspases (MCs) are structural homologs of mammalian caspases found in plants, fungi, and protozoa. Type-I MCs carry an N-terminal prodomain, the function which is unclear. Through genetic analysis Arabidopsis mc2-1, a T-DNA insertion mutant MC2, we demonstrated that prodomain metacaspase 2 (MC2) promotes immune signaling mediated by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). In responses constitutively activated. The receptor-like kinases (RLKs) BAK1/BKK1 SOBIR1 required for autoimmune...
SUMMARY The cuticle, consisting of cuticular wax and cutin, is a lipid membrane that seals the plant surface against environmental stress. β‐Ketoacyl‐CoA synthases (KCSs) are condensing enzymes catalyzing crucial reactions elongating hydrocarbon chains into precursors for various components. Although many KCS genes were well characterized in species, functions closely related Arabidopsis KCS3, KCS12, KCS19 remained unclear. Here, we found KCS3 preferentially expressed growing organs,...
