Executive Summary :

Plants have numerous receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that control biological activities like growth, development, and stress responses. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the S-domain RLKs (SD-RLKs) are one of the largest subfamilies, with 39 members. However, only a few have been functionally evaluated and linked to various biological processes. Three SD-RLK members, At1g61360, At1g61380, and At1g61460, emerged as key genes involved in abiotic stress tolerance and signaling. This project aims to examine the role of At1g61380 in A. thaliana.
