rlk10;fi-rlpk

Gene Details

Another gene named rlk10 (Zm00001d038791, receptor-like protein kinase 10) was located 410kb upstream; the expression of Zm00001d038791(rlk10) has been found to be significantly elevated by Colletotrichum graminicola infection.
Rlk10 likely involved in the response to fungal pathogens.
Rlk10 loss-of-function mutants displayed enhanced susceptibility to the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus and reduced accumulation of jasmonic acid and the anti-microbial phytoalexins -kauralexins and zealexins - in infected tissues.
