Cell walls: monitoring integrity with the kinase

Curr Biol. 2007 Jul 17;17(14):R541-2. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2007.05.033.

Abstract

For a plant to grow properly it has to detect and respond appropriately to a diverse set of signals that emanate from the cell wall. A novel receptor-like kinase has recently been identified as essential in this process.
