A Malectin-Like Receptor Kinase Regulates Cell Death and Pattern-Triggered Immunity in Soybean

ABSTRACT: Plant cells can sense conserved molecular patterns through pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and initiate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Details of the PTI signaling network are starting to be uncovered in Arabidopsis, but are still poorly understood in other species, including soybean (Glycine max). In this study, we perform a forward genetic screen for autoimmunity-related lesion mimic mutants (lmms) in soybean and identify two allelic mutants, which carry mutations in Glyma.13G054400, encoding a malectin-like receptor kinase (RK). The mutants exhibit enhanced resistance to both bacterial and oomycete pathogens, as well as elevated ROS production upon treatment with the bacterial pattern flg22. Overexpression of GmLMM1 gene in Nicotiana benthamiana severely suppresses flg22-trigger
