The SCHENGEN pathway regulates lignin barrier formation via the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase BIK1 in plant immunity.
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the SGN3 receptor kinase and CIF peptides, known for their roles in Casparian strip surveillance in the root endodermis, also function in leaves during effector-triggered immunity to control lignin barrier formation and disease resistance.
