    Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) belongs to the class of defense-related proteins. It is one of the largest protein family with roles ranging from growth and development to stress response. They are involved in every aspect of the plant life cycle, such as growth and development, reproduction and immunity. Development of high throughput sequencing technology has favoured the identification and characterization of numerous gene families in plants in the recent years. Researchers have identified and characterized numerous RLK sub-families in model plant species and agro-economically important crop plants like rice, wheat, sorghum, tomato etc. Plant Receptor-like Kinases is a compilation of the latest research in this important class of development and defense response proteins. It provides the foundational knowledge of the classification of RLKs, their mechanism of action and their roles in the plant life cycle, as well as the most up-to-date advances in the applications of RLKs. This is an essential read to researchers interested in plant signaling and plant genomics.

    Author Biography

    Dr. Upadhyay is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. He has been working in the field of Plant Biotechnology for more than 16 years. He is currently working in functional genomics. His research group at PU has characterized numerous important defence-related protein families such as receptor-like kinases, antioxidant enzymes, calcium transporters, chitinases, lectins, etc. They are also characterizing long non-coding RNAs related to the abiotic and biotic stress response. He has authored more than 130 publications including research papers in leading journals of international repute, national and international patents, book chapters and books. He has been awarded the NAAS Young scientist award (2017-18) and NAAS-Associate (2018) from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2013) from the Indian National Science Academy, India, NASI- Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2012) from the National Academy of Sciences, India, and Altech Young Scientist Award (2011). Dr. Shumayla is currently a Research Associate in the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. She has been working in the area of plant molecular biology and plant biotechnology from past 5 years. She has identified and characterized various sub families of receptor-like kinase (RLK), such as lectin receptor kinases, leucine-rich receptor like kinases, Cysteine-rich receptor like kinases etc. in bread wheat. She has authored more than 10 publications including research articles in peer reviewed international journals and book chapters. She is also an editorial reviewer in the frontiers of bioinformatics and computational biology.
