摘要
Peptides are emerging as a novel class of extracellular signaling molecules for ceil-to-cell communication in plants. As peptide hormones, they contribute to the control of plant growth and development, and to the interaction of plants with their biotic and abiotic environment. Many new signaling peptides have been identified in recent years and considerable progress has been made with respect to the characterization of signal perception and transduction mechanisms culminating in crystal structures for several peptide receptor complexes.
