Abstract
Background: The wall-associated kinases (WAKs) serve as pectin receptors. Results: A pectin methyl esterase and two transcription factor mutants suppress a dominant WAK allele. Conclusion: De-esterification of pectin is required for WAK activation though EDS1 and PAD4. Significance: The results provide a mechanism for the state of pectins to activate two different pathways. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
