Expression analysis of genes encoding LRR receptor protein in Arabidopsis

Abstract

Signal transduction is a important mechanism for regulation of plant growth and development. Receptor like kinase (RLK) is a key player of signal transduction in plants. Arabidopsis has more than 400 RLK genes and leucine rich repeat (LRR) type is largest family among them. CLAVATA1, a LRR-RLK is involved in regulation of meristem with CLAVATA2, a LRR receptor like protein (RLP). There are many LRR-RLP genes in Arabidopsis and they thought to be working as complex like CLAVATA system. In this study, we performed expression analysis of some LRR-RLP by promoter:reporter method in Arabidopsis.
