The receptor MIK2 interacts with the kinase RKS1 to control quantitative disease resistance to Xanthomonas campestris.

ABSTRACT: Molecular mechanisms underlying qualitative resistance have been intensively studied. In contrast, although quantitative disease resistance (QDR) is a common, durable, and broad-spectrum form of immune responses in plants, only a few related functional analyses have been reported. The atypical kinase Resistance related kinase 1 (RKS1) is a major regulator of QDR to the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris (Xcc) and is positioned in a robust protein-protein decentralized network in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Among the putative interactors of RKS1 found by yeast two-hybrid screening, we identified the receptor-like kinase MDIS1-interacting receptor-like kinase 2 (MIK2). Here, using multiple complementary strategies including protein-protein interaction tests, mutant analysis, a
