Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins feature tandem Introduction leucine-rich motifs that form a protein-protein interaction domain. Plants contain diverse classes of LRR proteins, many of which take part in signal transduction. We have identified a novel family of nine Arabidopsis LRR proteins that,...
