A Renaissance of Elicitors: Perception of Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns and Danger Signals by Pattern-Recognition Receptors
Thomas Boller,Georg Felix +1 more
TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that MAMPs, DAMPs, and effectors are all perceived as danger signals and induce a stereotypic defense response, and the importance of MAMP/PRR signaling for plant immunity is highlighted.

Plant cells recognize chitin fragments for defense signaling through a plasma membrane receptor
Hanae Kaku,Yoko Nishizawa,Naoko Ishii-Minami,Chiharu Akimoto-Tomiyama,Naoshi Dohmae,Koji Takio,Eiichi Minami,Naoto Shibuya +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high affinity binding protein for chitin oligosaccharide elicitor was isolated from the plasma membrane of suspension-cultured rice cells, and the protein was shown to have a short membrane spanning domain at the C terminus, indicating the involvement of partially homologous plasma membrane proteins both in defense and symbiotic signaling in plant cells.

The Arabidopsis Receptor Kinase FLS2 Binds flg22 and Determines the Specificity of Flagellin Perception
TL;DR: Results show that FLS2 constitutes the pattern-recognition receptor that determines the specificity of flagellin perception and is demonstrated by chemical cross-linking and immunoprecipitation.
