Abstract:Plant pathogens pose a continuous threat to global food production. Recent discoveries in plant immunity research unveiled a unique protein family characterized by an unusual resistance protein structure that combines two kinase domains (KD). This study demonstrates the widespread occurrence of tandem-kinase proteins (TKPs) across the plant kingdom. An examination of 104 plant species' genomes uncovered 2,682 TKPs. The majority (95.6%) of these KDs are part of the RLK-Pelle receptor-like kinase family, which i… Show more
