Molecular complexity of quantitative immunity in plants: from QTL mapping to functional and systems biology by Chauveau, Carine, Roby, Dominique

“…Identification of RKS1 protein interactors and complexes was a first step, systems biology and reconstruction of protein networks were then used to decipher the molecular roadmap to the immune responses controlled by RKS1. Finally, exploration of the potential impact of key components of the RKS1-dependent gene network on leaf microbiota offers interesting and challenging perspectives to decipher how the plant immune systems interact with the microbial communities’ systems.…”
