“…It is worth highlighting Dectin-1, the mammalian b-glucan receptor, which was the first mammalian non-Toll-like receptor discovered that is capable of coupling microbial recognition with transcriptional regulation of genes ( Figure 3; Brown and Gordon, 2001;Dambuza and Brown, 2015;Wang and Bouwmeester, 2017). In plants, Lec-RLKs have a prominent role in biotic stress responses (Bouwmeester et al, 2011;Desclos-Theveniau et al, 2012;Singh et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012Wang et al, , 2014Gouhier-Darimont et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2013;Balague et al, 2017), in contrast to their minor role in developmental processes (Bellande et al, 2017). However, only two ligand-LecRLK pairs have been identified (Bellande et al, 2017;Wang and Bouwmeester, 2017): lipopolysaccharides (LPSs)-LORE and extracellular ATP (eATP)-DORN1.…”
