RLK — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.7HG0657520 (HvRLK) encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with an L-type lectin domain, possessing histidine kinase activity, sugar binding, and signaling receptor activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including sporulation, pollen aperture formation, pollen development, regulation of developmental growth, immune response, defense response to bacteria and oomycetes, response to heat, cytokinin and brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, inhibition of salinity response, and virus-induced PTGS. It is linked to stem rust and localizes to the pollen aperture, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional signaling roles.
