Plant immunity mediated by cell wall derived glycans. Mechanisms of glycans recognition and activation of disease resistance responses in plants (crops) by Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), and in particular by LRR-MAL Receptor Kinases (RKs) members. Structural characterization of ECDs of LRR-MAL RKs perceiving cell wall-derived glycans (MAMPs/DAMPs) and characterization of downstream components triggering disease resistance responses. Biochemical and structural characterization of cell walls of plants and associated microorganisms, including purification of specific cell wall structures (glycans) (MAMPs and DAMPs) that modulate plants (crops) immune responses and disease resistance. |
