The tomato cytoplasmic receptor-like kinase TPK09 mediates resistance to Botrytis cinerea and tolerance to light-induced stress
Abstract Plant responses to pathogens often rely on receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) that mediate signaling through interactions with receptor kinases and downstream components. Here, we studied the tomato RLCK, TPK1b Related Protein Kinase (TPK09), and demonstrate its function in integrating defense with ligh...
