Abstract
Plants must constantly adapt to changing environmental conditions. Cell-surface receptor kinases play an important role in the sensing of stimuli originating from the environment itself or that are produced endogenously often in response to such external cues. I will present our recent work on stress-regulated secreted signaling peptides, their perception mechanisms, and diverse functions in adaptive stress responses.
