Structural basis for recognition of RALF peptides by LRX proteins during pollen tube growth

Sarah Wehrle

Plant reproduction relies on the highly regulated growth of the pollen tube for sperm delivery. This process is controlled by secreted RALF signaling peptides, which have previously been shown to be perceived by Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1Ls) mem ...
