Receptor-like kinase RLK15 binds a fungal RNase effector to enhance autophosphorylation and activate host defense
Fungal pathogens secrete diverse effectors to suppress host immunity, yet the plant receptors that perceive these virulence factors often remain elusive. Here, we identify Ss1624, a secreted RNase from the sugarcane smut pathogen Sporisorium scitamineum, and show that it is recognized by the plasma-membrane-localized CrRLK1L-family receptor kinase RLK15. This recognition triggers canonical immune…
