Advances in CrRLK1L function in plant cell wall signaling during interaction with the environment and development

Abstract: As a barrier between the cell and its environment, the plant cell wall provides structural support during development and stress response. Plants are able to sense their surroundings and adjust their activities accordingly. A crucial mechanism involved in these adaptive changes is the cell wall integrity (CWI) maintenance mechanism, which monitors and maintains the integrity of cell walls via changes in cell and cell wall metabolism without destroying cell wall organization. Different abiotic stresses and changes in plant developmental phases disrupt CWI. However, emerging evidence has demonstrated the initiation of CWI signaling mechanisms as key in promoting plant growth in complex situations. This review discusses recent advances in the Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L) protein function in plant cell wall signaling during adaptation to changing environments and development. We conclude by highlighting how current spatially resolved transcriptomics may be used to advance the role of CrRLK1L members in plant cell wall signaling during development and stress response.
