This review focuses on the class that consists of the plasma membrane‐bound leucine‐rich repeat proteins known as receptor‐like proteins (RLPs). The first isolated resistance genes of the RLP class are the tomato\n                    <jats:italic>Cf</jats:italic>\n                    genes, which confer resistance to the fungal pathogen\n                    <jats:italic>Cladosporium fulvum</jats:italic>\n                    . To date, several other RLP genes are known to be implicated in resistance in other plant–pathogen interactions. These include\n                    <jats:italic>HcrVf2</jats:italic>\n                    from apple,\n                    <jats:italic>Ve1</jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Ve2</jats:italic>\n                    from tomato, and\n                    <jats:italic>RPP27</jats:italic>\n                    from Arabidopsis, which are involved in resistance to\n                    <jats:italic>Venturia</jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Verticillium</jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Peronospora,</jats:italic>\n                    respectively. Furthermore, the tomato RLP gene\n                    <jats:italic>LeEix</jats:italic>\n                    initiates defence responses upon elicitation with a fungal ethylene‐inducing xylanase (EIX) of non‐pathogenic\n                    <jats:italic>Trichoderma</jats:italic>\n                    . The tomato\n                    <jats:italic>Cf</jats:italic>\n                    genes, which are the most intensively studied RLP resistance genes, are usually found in clusters of several homologues. Whereas some of these homologues are functional\n                    <jats:italic>Cf</jats:italic>\n                    resistance genes, others have no known function in resistance. Different evolutionary processes contribute to variation in functional\n                    <jats:italic>Cf</jats:italic>\n                    genes, and functional as well as non‐functional homologues may provide a source for the generation of novel\n                    <jats:italic>Cf</jats:italic>\n                    resistance genes. To date, little is known of the proteins that interact with Cf proteins to initiate defence responses. In contrast to the LeEix protein and the corresponding EIX elicitor, for which a direct interaction was found, no direct interaction between Cf proteins and the corresponding\n                    <jats:italic>C. fulvum</jats:italic>\n                    elicitors has been demonstrated. Analogous to the CLAVATA signalling complex, which comprises an RLP, a receptor‐like kinase (RLK) and a small proteineous ligand, Cf proteins may form a complex with RLKs and thus initiate signalling upon recognition of the corresponding elicitors. The presence of RLP resistance genes in diverse plant species suggests that these genes play an important role in the extracellular recognition of plant pathogens.\n                  </jats:p>","journal":"Molecular Plant Pathology","year":2005,"id":29659,"datarank":4.858154460312095,"base_score":4.912654885736052,"endowment":4.912654885736052,"self_citation_contribution":0.736898232860408,"citation_network_contribution":4.121256227451687,"self_endowment_contribution":0.736898232860408,"citer_contribution":4.121256227451687,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":135,"citer_count":118,"citers_with_citation_signal":110,"citers_with_endowment":110,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":163040,"name":"MAARTEN J.
