Multi-omics approach highlights differences between RLP classes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Leucine rich-repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein (RLP) family is a complex gene family with 57 members in Arabidopsis thaliana. Some members of the RLP family are known to be involved in basal developmental processes, whereas others are involved in defence responses. However, functional data is currently only available for a small subset of RLPs, leaving the remaining ones classified as RLPs of unknown function.

Results

Using publicly available datasets, we annotated RLPs of unknown function as either likely defence-related or likely fulfilling a more basal function in plants. Then, using these categories, we can identify important characteristics that differ between the RLP subclasses. We found that the two classes differ in abundance on both transcriptome and
