Dissection of leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinases: insight into resistance to Fusarium wilt in tung tree.

ABSTRACT: The tung tree is a woody oil plant native to China and widely distributed in the subtropics. The three main species commonly known as Vernicia are V. fordii, V. montana, and V. cordata. The growth and development of V. fordii are affected by a large number of plant pathogens, such as Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium sp. In contrast, V. montana shows significant resistance to Fusarium wilt. The leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK) is the largest class of receptor-like kinases associated with plant resistance to Fusarium wilt. Here, we identified 239 VmLRR-RLKs in V. montana, and found that there were characteristic domains of resistance to Fusarium wilt in them. Phylogenetic anal
