OsCERK1 plays a crucial role in the lipopolysaccharide‐induced immune response of rice

What is it about?

Plants respond to invading pathogens for self-defense after sensing molecules derived from the pathogens. Lipopolysaccharide is such a molecule; however, how this sensing occurs is largely unknown. We find a rice protein that plays a crucial role in the lipopolysaccharide sensing.
