Leucine-Rich Repeat Protein Family Regulates Stress Tolerance and Development in Plants by Hao Zhiqi, Wang Tingyi, Chen Dongdong, Shen Lan, Zhang Guangheng, Qian Qian, Zhu Li

“…The leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein family is involved in a variety of fundamental metabolic and signaling processes in plants, including growth and defense responses. LRR proteins can be divided into two categories: those containing LRR domains along with other structural elements, which are further subdivided into five groups, LRR receptor-like kinases, LRR receptor-like proteins, nucleotide-binding site LRR proteins, LRR-extensin proteins, and polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins, and those containing only LRR domains. …”
